i would like to know if the shells stay in the mag when you fire a revolver

[CelticRoad]

@desperadoguitare Yeah the spent casings stay inside the cylinder

Nice video. I'm deciding between the Model 60 2.125" and Model 60 3" barrel. Haven't shot a J-frame revolver and was curious if you knew the difference in accuracy. Thanks

[CelticRoad]

@fuzzypandas89 Good question, but to be honest the accuracy difference is going to be minimal if any at all. The main difference is that the model 60 with the 3" has better sights, which are also better for snagging if you are thinking about carrying this weapon concealed. I love my snub nose, and with practice it's more than accurate.

what kind of gun takes two diff rounds? this is new too me

[CelticRoad]

@jayharo44 This is a .357 magnum. All .357 magnums can also shoot .38 specials since the diameter of the bullet is the same, only difference is the length of the casing and the amount or strength of the powder.

nice demonstration

@jayharo44 .357 guns have always been capable of firing .38s as well.

[TheL4dgamer]

@CelticRoad I agree, the adjustable sights on the 3 inch barrel version are more easily detectable to the eye and therefore easier to become accurate with. However, if you can become accurate with a snub nose, you can be accurate with anything lol.

@Mr13born79 Smith and wesson model 60.

[Mr13born79]

@SeaboardCoastLineRR, You welcome, I was dumbfounded when I first got mine, I was blown away when I saw it And I had to get!

[SeaboardCoastLineRR]

@isamtator Thanks!

[isamtator]

@SeaboardCoastLineRR, Ruger Black hawk .357 magnum, it come with a Second cylinder that chamber's 9mm Luger. It's around 450 some parts 500 new used you can get them for around 350, or so!

[SeaboardCoastLineRR]

@isamtator Which Ruger model fires all three types?

[isamtator]

Actually, the .357 is .357. The .38 special is .356 which is no big deal! Ruger makes a revolver that fires .357, .38 special, and 9mm luger(355 which is also not that big of a differance) no problems! great video!
