Very true way too hot no gun could take that load, and who would want to shoot it.

A good way for someone to turn a handgun into a makeshift grenade.

Re: DA Blow Up!

Cylinders give out first in a kaboom. Ruger's bh cylinder is not stronger than a smith's, the redhawk and super redhawk cylinders are. A load that would do that to a smith would do the same to a ruger.

Re: DA Blow Up!

i am a dyed in the wool ruger man.........but even ruger can make a boo-boo.............

it is my understanding that in 2010 ruger had a recall on a serial number range of the gp100.............something about the heat treatment on the cylinders was all wrong.............

comparing a ruger to a smith is like comparing an anvil to a china hutch..........but you can still blow up an anvil........ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhQ4dE_RGnQ

and it can be operator error...especailly in dealing with some rocket scientist out there........... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9isw0fK ... re=related
