S&W L Frame torture test.

In this video they reduced charges until they stuck a bullet in the barrel. Then they fired 2 more further reduced loads. So now there are 3 bullets in the barrel.

The last step is to fire a full power round. I wouldn't have believed the cylinder didn't come apart, but the only damage was a bulged barrel.

Interesting. I never want first hand experience.

+1. My 686 is my favorite pistol.

It''s wrong to do that to a revolver on purpose.

Was one of those guys named Clark?

I'm not sure what the test proves other than those guys have too much money to spend. By the way, a 1300 fps 125 gr. bullet isn't "hotter than snot", I'd only call it a warm load. I also dislike this sort of testing.
