butchlocgood sound gun & fun to shoot. only thing is that since it is a rimless case it headspaces on the case mouth. Works best when you get all your brass trimmed just right

DuggaBoyePerhaps the painfully loudest pistol I ever owned

I'm talking plugs & muffs and still loud--
that said--
accurate and not hard to handle in recoil.

The only problem I have heard of so far is sticking cases,what you are saying would explain that, Do you know at what length to trim the cases? that would be helpful if I find one. Thanks and happy shooting

Alberta CanuckI've owned two, both 7-1/2"ers, ten years apart. They are a reliable, accurate, low recoil firearm, but I will NEVER own one again. Acutely loud and damaging noise producers. If you want to go deaf in short order, get one.

sam308Very loud and an impressive muzzle blast. However my 7.5" Blackhawk is pretty accurate and the 110gr. soft points will tear up any form of vermin that you can hit with it.
Yes VERY loud !

Same with 32 mag and hot loaded 32-20.

craigsterBe sure to use ear plugs under 2 pairs of muffs. Squeeze trigger, wait for the flash.
