I have a S&W made in '57 (blued) and the barrel is pinned. I have heard that you are not to use +P in a pinned barrel. Can anybody shed any light on this?
I agree with this, the older ones were way stronger and more durable then the newly manufactured ones of today.So...those older revolvers are MUCH stronger than anyone likes to give them credit for...I daresay, they are better built than modern examples.
Yes, you can...but you should fire at least one cylinder (5 rounds) to verify function and accuracy before relying on them for defense.So, Hans, can I assume that I can shoot +p rds. in this 64 yr. old snubbie with a pinned barrel? I would only load them for home protection only.
We didnt use Chinese steel back thenI agree with this, the older ones were way stronger and more durable then the newly manufactured ones of today.
