I cannot replicate the out of battery condition in my Ruger SP101, at the point where your LCR fires out of battery my SP101's cylinder rotates into full battery lockup.

I find it prudent to mention that full power 125 grain loads have been used in abuse tests on the SP101 without the SP101 enduring much wear with round counts climbing into the thousands. The 110 grainers will do a forcing cone in on any revolver though, but of all the guns on the market I'd...

You said you're using a Simply Rugged holster? It's probably safe to assume it's the Silver Dollar model, and with that being said have you tried wearing it in a crossdraw position?

The reasoning I've always heard is that Ruger revolvers are over-engineered compared to S&W. Kind of like a HMMWV (Ruger) versus a H1 Hummer (S&W). That being said, I own an SP101 and the only thing out there about them is that they are little tanks; I've not heard of one cracked forcing cone...

Use a heavier ammo to reduce the muzzle flash, roar, and recoil. It's my opinion that with the velocities that you get with the short barrel gold dot you'd be better off with a similar velocity 9mm pocket gun that can hold more ammo, but then again it's just my opinion. I'm a little gung-ho in...

Personally the only snubby that I would feed a steady diet of SAMMI spec hot loads is the SP101 (mine is stoked with 125 grain Remington R357M1 SJHP which do 1200+ fps from my 2.25" barrel) other than that they're fine to carry in most modern .357 wheel guns.

Just got home from the range. The ammo performed well, and accuracy was unaffected by the deformed tips out to the maximum range of 25 yards. No word from Remington as of yet. My new hammer spring is also 100% reliable.

I dropped it while inserting it into my speedstrip, the nose struck the side of my dresser on its way to the floor and that was the result.

The bullets for the .38 Special +P SJHP line are different than the .357 Magnum SJHP line; the .38 bullets have a longer bullet and a copper jacket that rests higher on the round, whereas the .357 bullets have a low jacket and a smaller exposed bullet. My dad has some of the .38 bullets you're...

All I need them to be is combat accurate in the standard engagement envelope (0 - 7 yards). I don't really forsee myself having to engage a threat farther than that distance. I contacted Remington and I'm waiting on a reply. Thanks for all the input! I'm headed out to the range tomorrow to...

Forgive me if this is in the wrong section, feel free to move it! I just bought a box of .357 Magnum rounds Remington 125 grain R357M1 and noticed something unusual when comparing it to stock photos of the same round. The tips in the stock photography show a nice even curve up until the hollow...
