Not gonna do it

Hmmmm,, I wonder if 38's and 44 Specials have the same issue as shooting shorts in a Model 17 revolver,,

Shoot some shorts,, the cylinder gets a powder ring,, at the wrong location,,

Then, if you shoot the full power load, the brass "grabs onto" that powder ring from shooting the shorter brass.

Now, you can not eject the brass,,

I remember the first time that happened to me.
I was shooting the 22LR Trooper MK III that my wife bought for me,,

I shot some shorts, then some Long Rifle,, the shells would not eject!!
I thought I broke the gun,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I do not shoot shorts in my 17 very much, but when I do I clean the chambers with a bore brush, That keeps the carbon ring away. beside I haa Walther OSP to shoot the shorts in.

At 71 I realized I no longer enjoyed my 4" 29-2 with magnums and was limited to 44 spec... Don't mind my 2.5", 3" or 4 model 66 with magnums and they are great with .38 Spec. Kimber Pro CDP in 45 cal and Ruger 45 LC are still fun to shoot. No more alloy snub noses for me....

I still shoot Magnums but lower powered loads now.
Can handle the recoil but my M 69 wont last as long.
Can't see beating up a light weight pistol .
Had to cut back on my rifle shooting though due to a rotator issue.
7 lb 30/06 is not kind to your shoulder.

I'm 71 and I've decided I should stop ageing. I'm paying off too many doctor's Mercedes.

It's good thinking but is it working? I'll be 83 before this month is gone and I like the song about "don't let the old man in" but some days when I'm not looking he slips in. Larry

I’m looking to go to a S&W 22 revolver myself.

I've got a 34 that's well used. Also dug my Model 18 Safe Queen out of the vault and now she's earning her keep.

With a 22, Stingers would be my CC ammo. However, it's always nice to have a small game, plinking, low-noise option.
I bought a case of these Colibri's 20 years or so ago and never found a gun that likes them. Until now. My Model 18 did this at 25 yards.
Look out Mr. Squirrel.
