Hmm, who's Danjet500 talking about.... :roll:
While we're waiting I'll toss in my two cents worth. When Ruger began production of the New Model version of the Super Bearcat they also introduced the "transfer bar" kit for the Old Model and, in a surprise move, put a miniature version of the Super Blackhawk hammer on the New Bearcat and in the "conversion kit" lockwork, as well.
So, we then had a nice little revolver with a smooth top strap and a wide spur hammer....... gee, I bet a guy could fan this thing and really "get with the program"!!!
Soon thereafter Ruger began receiving reports that the guns were "out of time" and, especially with the magnum cylinder installed, shooters were getting hit with "splattering" bullet jackets!!! (How in the world could that happen unless the "fanners" were short stroking the hammer and letting it drop prior to the cylinder rotating
completely into the battery position?) :roll:
Ruger's only recourse was to issue a "recall on the mag cylinders" in an effort to get them "out of the field". Approx. 1,000 convertible New Bearcats had been shipped and around 300 cylinders were returned for the $40 rebate check.
There's not a damn thing wrong with the gun and it's magnum cylinder, IMNSHO, it's the stupid humans that are the problem.
I, too, have heard of many rechambered .22 LR cylinders.
