Let me get this straight, you had a FAILURE TO FEED ON A 38 REVOVER ??
If it was throwing stuff in ur face , it means the dam thing was wore out before u got it , and the cyl. wasn't being held in the right alignment with the barrel.
I have had 4 diff. 38`s and none of them did that.
My favorite carry is an alum. , 6 shot , that was built for bomber pilots back in ww2, lite weight , very accurate , fairly easy to hide , not much safer to carry than a revolver !
What do u guys think about the open carry thing now a lot of places have ??
