willie-pete Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Due to the gas seal design; it was said to be one of the few revolvers that could effectively be suppressed. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maser Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 I couldn't care less about the suppressor aspect of it, but I am curious just how much extra velocity could be gotten. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dric902 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 SIL #3 had one of them not a high pressure round (due to metallurgy) the seal made little difference, but the concept was sound. Kinda clunky, trigger was awful, handloads are a pain to get right. accuracy wasn’t bad at 15 yards fun gun to play with and shoot for interest . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maser Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Yeah, the DA trigger pull looked awful in Ian's vid. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one also pushes the cylinder forward for the seal with the forcing cone . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlocknSpiehl Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 I have one. It is a fun pistol and gets lots of comments at the range. Really slow to reload. DA is hard pull, but very smooth DA. It is also surprisingly light in weight. Yes, it can be suppressed. It does make a very good seal when firing. The actual bullet sits back in the cartridge, instead of protruding like modern ammo, so the rim of the cartridge sits/fits into the barrel making a seal. However, after firing for a while, the seal becomes les absolute, unless you clean. It is rather accurate out to 10 yards, which is the furthest I’ve ever tested mine. Sorry, it is locked away right now as I am in Dubai and am disarmed. Withdrawal symptoms... I was able to score a lot of ammo for it so I do have something to look forward to when I get home. I actually got it online for a decent price about 7 years ago. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Historian Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 I find myself watching a lot of this guy's videos. He's very interesting. He appears to have a near encyclopedic knowledge of firearms. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Jackboot using Copatalk This one certainly wasn't one of them. https://www.range365.com/suppressed-38-revolver-made-for-tunnel-rats-in-vietnam/ " Three units that tested the kit reported that the suppressor was ineffective (the fact that they packaged it with a set of ear plugs should tell you how much confidence even the kit's designers had in the suppressor), but the report notes the users were forced to use full-load ammo instead of the recommended half-loads, which weren't available—though it's doubtful it would have made much difference.

Those are on the Internet. I have purchased for my wife, dangle earrings that are Nickle plated .556 bullets, miniature hand cuffs, and shell bases like this. They are cool. She says she gets little comments about the bullets because very few women know what they are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

railfancwb Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 There also have been at least two automatic revolvers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt Longmire Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 I had a Webley revolver, but it wasn't the semi auto one. Sold it to some gal that uses it in shoots and also in reenactments. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right at 2hrs, Blade Runner 2049, Luv gives K a stompin', stands over him, kichs in the head, and says "Bad Dog". Then she whacks K's hologram gf, just for meanness. But it was cute when she did it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
