    Cylinder bound up

    Same thing happened to me; .44 Mag. Would have been catastrophic. Ever since(40+) I have kept a flashlight on the reloading bench and EVERY batch of powdered brass gets looked at for reasonableness before the bullets get added.

    Charter Arms 44

    Mine is an original Pug; tight and right. Much carried and occasionally shot. It’s been checked out by a reputable gunsmith who was impressed. I keep it clean and have never had an issue. That said, I’ve heard the complaints; could be the quality control has been spotty over the years; it is...
