[QUOTE="Glock 'em down, post: 1271057, member: 684"] I'm one of the ones who never leaves home without my Airweight J frame in my pocket. Now then. With that being said, that same Airweight J frame rarely gets fired anything but standard pressure ammo. Why you may ask? Simple. With a revolver, it's basically unnecessary to "function check" your carry/duty ammo in a revolver because I've never in the 21 years I've been totin' revolvers witnessed a failure to feed in a wheelgun. The closest I came was with my Colt Cobra who absolutely hates the Speer 135gr short barrel Gold Dots. They just absolutely will not load into the cylinder. :ugh2: It's kinda like putting .357 Magnums into a .38 Special...they load up into the charge holes just fine but the caseheads stand up enough that you can't close the cylinder. Crazy, huh? Anyway...I need to try the "test" and see if my vintage 1985 Smith & Wesson model 38 ND Airweight Bodyguard does this with my carry ammo. Might be time to try something else. Good post _CY_ :thanku: [/QUOTE]
