[QUOTE="Ahall, post: 4305806, member: 49426"] The early break open stuff is not known for strength or durability. Lots of hand fitted parts in that era. Regarding shooting the old stuff. If you going to shoot obsolete cartridges, get into reloading. Its not cheap to tool up at the start, but once your set up, it's worth it if you enjoy it. The nice thing about revolvers, you don't have to chase your brass down to reload it Rounds like the 32 S&W or 32 Colt are very low pressure, so the brass lasts a long time. They don't burn much powder either, and can shoot cast lead slugs all day long. If you cast your own projectiles and reload the cost per round is small. The harder the shell is to come by, the bigger the cost savings when reloading. [/QUOTE]
