I was firing my trooper/python with very light loads. One stuck in the barrel. It was snowing pretty good so didn't see the holes not appearing in the target. I fired five more one on top of the other. All lined up like good.little soldiers. Luckily I was.shooting very light loads and the pistol has a very heavy barrel. My nephew removed the barrel and pressed the bullets out. The barrel has a slight mark from the barrel removal but has had no loss of accuracy at all. The scary part was they were jacketed. The second scary part was I was wearing gloves and felt no increased recoil at all. Still scared the crap out of me as close as I got to a ruined jewel of a gun. Stuff happens.
