How dangerous is a revolver that will not reliably index?

[Texas by God]

You haven't lived till you've had a cap & ball revolver chain fire! Both times I've been there the revolver survived. Creepy.

Had a firing pin strike on the edge of a large pistol primer. It did not fire. The old model Ruger SBH has to be loaded correctly. If its not, it possibe to be out of time. After this, i loaded it correctly. I think a fully loaded 44 mag may do some damage.

The photo was just to make you think "Safety First" . I dont remember the cause.

A revolver chamber that doesn't correctly index in line with the bore is akin to holding an ice cream cone, raising it to your mouth but hitting your forehead . . . .

Like trying to stick a fork in your mouth but sticking it in your eye?

LOL. Good analogy & easy to picture in ones head. Made me laugh a bit anyway.
