Nope... this should be here, instead of the hunting section!
Yesterday afternoon I was bench testing my 460 XVR hunting revolver, and got a good “stinger” on the left cheek just below the eyeglasses. Not certain as to what happened, other than, I got hit by a small piece of lead,or perhaps powder coat.....drawing blood!
Shooting powder coated cast, through the factory brake. A pretty thorough inspection didn’t show any lead or paint build-up in the brake. When rotating the cylinder many times, it seemed to index properly every time, and didn’t exhibit any excessive cylinder play.
The only thing that I can add of any importance to this incident is.....always wear your eye protection when shooting. In 51 years of revolver shooting, I‘ve never had this happen before....but, lately this has been my first extensive shooting with a “braked” handgun! There is always a first time occurrence for most things......don’t let it “put your eye out”! memtb
