Funny how fast this acquisition happened. I just started wondering and it appeared. Then it followed me home.
Shown with my Browning 53 that has not seen near enough use.

Has a safety feature in the cylinder pin. If you run the pin all the way in it blocks the hammer. Not sure I like that. If I can't get used to it I may replace the pin or shorten it. It kept re-applying itself as I reloaded. I may not have had it engaged in the first slot correctly.

This is going to be a fun little shooter. Ready to try it with some black powder. All I had loaded up was some 700 fps Unique and 115 gr lead. I just shot at a plastic jug 10 yards away. I'll have to increase the velocity of my rounds some or my front sight will be too short.

You might just need to tighten the cross latch. I have 3 different styles of safeties on the same number of clones. One rotates so that a pin moves into a slot in the hammer so it is "off"; the other two use two grooves in the pin... one with the "normal, safety "off" with the groove all the way around the pin, the other only has a short groove, the cylinder pin must be aligned properly to stay "off". Both the latter ones need to have the cross pin assembly very tight so it engages the groove enough to keep from being moved back.

There is a fine line between hobby & obsession! AND... I'm over it!!
No I ain't ready, but let's do it anyway!
May seem redundant but I will post this here also.
Better check on that. Pressures for the 327 are 45,000 lbs, 32 H&R are 21,000 CUP. Is the cylinder bolt stop cut offset like the SP101 which btw has .080" between the cylinder walls?

That's the number I was looking for. None of my books are new enough to have the .327 in it.
I imagine that .32 WCF, .32 H&R, 32 long an .32 S&W are enough to shoot out of one gun, huh? Not that I'm going to buy all that extra brass, but during a panic it's nice to have something with a variable diet.
During last year's nonsense, .327 Federal and .41 Mag were on the shelf when everything else was gone....

I looked around online and couldn't find any for sale. So I was pleased to find this little Cimarron. Probably for 300 or so less money. I got to get my reloading room back in order so I can start doing some shooting.

I could really like one of those. Please give us a range report. My Dads double action shot much lower with the 100 gr bullet. The 115 was 4 inches high at 20 yards.
I have a Spanish copy of a S&W. It seems to be in good shape and tight. The bluing is in very poor shape. I have shot it once with Remington 100 grain lead RN. It worked as it should. I believe/hope it is one of the better quality copies!
