            Smith & Wesson tries to make a safety locking mechanism built into their revolvers. It locks the action in place and prevents the gun from being fired. Tends to be maligned in the firearm world as a gimmick to appease anti-gun politicians from back during the Clinton administration.

                I have heard apocryphally that Jerry Mculek (or however it's spelled) had one lock up on him back in the like 90s or whatever, but I've yet to actually KNOW anyone who has had it happened to them, nor have I had it happen to me. I have read some claims that it primarily happens to the very small frame magnum j-frames with hot loads, but I've yet to actually see it demonstrably happen. So to me it goes in the same box as the 1911 "grip safety just jammed up and won't work!" tier where I guess it can happen but it's rare enough to not be a significant concern to me.

                Sure, and probably every car has at least one documented failure with things like airbag deployment, or sudden break line failure, over thousands of thousands of cars.

                The question is does it happen enough to matter to the type of people who want a .350L revolver (which is probably a very niche group of hunters to begin with). Most anons complaining about the Hillary Hole are probably not even in the market for a $1600 revolver, nor are they intended audience in all likelihood. I'm not sure who it is for, probably revolver hunters in the straightwall states who already own .350L rifles and want a companion piece. For a lot of them i doubt the .350L revolver having a hillary hole is a deal breaker since they are already taking the conceit of mag limits and caliber size limits (if you have to shoot a deer more than once you messed up, and if you have to shoot it more than twice you really fricked up), and if it is a dealbreaker I guess they don't have another option other than BFR (which is single action).

                Maybe taurus will make one at some point, but I doubt it since they already have a .44 mag hunting revolver lline. Then again S&W offers a ton of calibers for their revolver line and still here we are, with another weird moon clip revolver.

                I sent a Beretta 92 in for zeroing because it was inches low out of the box. When I got it back the invoice said zeroed but guess what? It was still inches low.

                An invoice just shows what they are looking at or parts they are replacing. You can send a gun in for anything. When it's something as nebulous as a lock supposedly engaging, they aren't even going to test it they'll just replace 60 cents worth of parts and send it out again.

      Revolvers like that aren't really "DA/SA." That's the term commonly used for pistols that automatically wiener the hammer upon firing. These revolvers are called "double action," even though you can manually wiener the hammer. If you wanted, you could call them DA & SA, but a special term like that is unnecessary because double action revolvers lacking an exposed hammer for manual wienering are called "DAO." Thus,

      >DA/SA - semi-autos that automatically wiener the hammer upon the second shot

      >Double action - DA revolvers with an exposed, wienerable hammer

      >DAO - any double action handgun lacking the option to wiener the hammer

      Likewise, single action revolvers only need to be called "single action," since "SAO" refers to guns where a function otherwise expected to be present has been removed or is conspicuously absent, namely with semi-autos.

        So they remove the rim, the one thing that help chamber it in revolvers, and then S&W stuffs it in a full meme revolver. When ammo for this garbage tier cartridge dries up in less than a decade, it'll be a paperweight. And remember, once the brass dries up, that unique rebated rim means you can't reload it, back to paperweight status.

          You bring up a good point. I can't imagine they'd make a cylinder that needs moon clips for the cartridge, but it'd be foolish to have a cartridge that headspaces on the mouth in a revolver cylinder if it has any modicum of recoil. This raises the question of whether they'll make a replaceable cylinder that can take 357 Supermag and 357 Maximum.

            Once factory brass has disappeared, there is no way to economically reload .350 Legend. What case would you form it from?

                Why would they be, when the next, more profitable cartridge comes along? Gotta keep selling those new rifles and handguns. .350 Legend requires unique tooling, costing an armand a leg to produce probably.

                .450 really isn't better depending on what you mean. If you mean by ballistic drop, no a 405 gr .450 drops like a foot by 200 yards if you have a 100 yard zero (not that you should have a 100y zero, but if you don't you can rely on it to often be an inch or two high or low at normal ranges). It rainbows like crazy. .350 is much flatter, and it kills deer. Which was the point

              This. .350 legend has a base diameter of .390. 5.56 and .223 and .223 are close at .376, but it won't be right. .350 legend has the same rim diameter as .223, but it's base diameter is larger and doesn't really correspond to any other case.

                When you neck up or down you end up lengthening the case. 3 mm is nothing.
                Rebating a rim is dead simple.
                Or you can simply order basic brass from the factory. Minimum order sizes might apply.

                So get some brass 5.45x39. neck it out to .378, hoping that increases the length to 43mm. Turn the rim down to .376 from .394. It will chamber tight if the base is .394 instead of .390.

              Not him, and I am not a proponent of the 350 legend, it's pretty shit.
              But* I bet you could blow out 5.56 brass and it be serviceable enough, the reason winchester didn't, is because this was meant to be a fudd round, and fuddrounds need a shitty body taper to be accepted by the fuddies. A blown out 5.56 wouldn't have the taper, but it *might* still fit in a 350 chamber.

                5.56 has a taper of 22 thou going from base to shoulder, .350 Legend has a taper of .22 thou going from bass to neck - it's actually less heavily tapered than 5.56. Yes, blown out 5.56 would fit in a chamber, but there's not enough brass on a 5.56 case to blow it out and form a .350 Legend neck. Even if it fit, the fireforming process would cause weak points at the cartridge base, meaning case-head seperations.

                So get some brass 5.45x39. neck it out to .378, hoping that increases the length to 43mm. Turn the rim down to .376 from .394. It will chamber tight if the base is .394 instead of .390.

                >So get some brass 5.45x39. neck it out to .378, hoping that increases the length to 43mm
                5.45x39 has a shoulder angle of 40 degrees, meaning the 5.82mm length from shoulder to neck has roughly 7.59mm of brass. You'd get less than 2mm of elongation, especially since material flow has to compensate for the necking up.

                If Prvi is still making small batches of like arisaka food and people still make the odd batch of .35 or .222 remington i suspect .350 will be around for the forseeable future

                Arisaka ammo is pretty popular in Europe, and .35 and .222 are still popular hunting cartridges here, for the fudds that is. Prvi is aimed at the European market though, and there is no reason to buy a .350 Legend in Europe because it's based on stupid US laws.

                It's a simple job to remove the lock and replace it with a filler plug if it really bothers you that much too.

                Or they could not make the hole: reduce unit cost, stop being cucked, no failures, no cost to the end user to replace a defective design.

    Not gonna lie, that could legitimately make for an interesting revolver if you're shooting at beyond standard handgun range. The X-frame is remarkably accurate, and its weight would help soak up the recoil. Only problem is, it's a heavy ass X-frame.

        It has to do with the pressure to bore size.
        The ratio is what kills your forcing cone, as for flame cutting, the smaller your bore, the less pressure is needed to flame cut, as less gas can enter the bore, and is forced out.

    About the .357 maximum, which was weaker than this.
    >There were two major complaints with the Max, both having to do with powder gas erosion. When the gun fired, it behaved like all revolvers in that the powder charge in those long chambers burned at a very high temperature. This produced a blue-white ring of fire at the gap where the bullet transitioned the jump from cylinder to the barrel.

    >This fire also flowed upwards in such a way that it encountered the inside edge of the revolver topstrap. It took only a few rounds to actually erode (read cut) that section. Also, the flame proved to be hard on the rear end of the barrel, rapidly destroying the smooth taper of the forcing cone.

    >The makers involved cleared their drawing boards and mandated corrections. That never happened with Ruger. Dan Wesson guns had easily-replaceable barrels and came with an extra in .357 Maximum. The company would sell you all you wanted for ten bucks apiece, but a gun that tried to cut itself in half was doomed to failure. The .357 Maximum went away. No one currently makes guns chambered in the cartridge.

      Seems like this is a materials problem. Maybe a refractory metal insert on the top-strap would work. A tungsten carbide ablative block that you could just swap as needed.

        you couldn't try to use a space shuttle/starship heat tile sort of material because those rely on being very low density and using very little material in a lot of volume to insulate

          Ablative is more of a use case than a particular material. Something like tungsten-copper composites that are used in high power electrical contacts would likely work. The idea is that you have something sacrificial that protects the important part of the revolver.

          A third of the thread is people b***hing about locks like they fail constantly, are we reading the same fricking thread? It's not surprising really, this board thinks current Sig P320s fire when dropped, Remingtons are guaranteed to rust, muggets are the best rifle ever invented and Glocks explode. Just one more candle on that birthday cake of moronation. This board fricking LOVES to complain about and condemn everything.

          You are

          no u

          I have never said it’s a guaranteed failure you strawmanning frick, I just only that it has happened, it can happen, it is a problem. When asked about failures, I posted documented failures which then you went and b***hed about how those aren’t real. Even with some moronic “he turned the lock in just a way” that it would engage after a few shots, which still means it is physically possible for the lock to engage itself under recoil.

          I have two smiths with locks. If you do not own any, why the frick did you bring your ugly mug into this conversation?

          >it can happen, it is a problem
          Then open up your b***hing to include every single fricking gun ever made, they all CAN have problems. What a stupid fricking way to evaluate guns, by the most ridiculous outside possibility of something maybe happening. That's so childish and cynical it physically hurts me to think about.

            No it's not. Why are you lying? People are complaining that S&W still has their locks when they aren't needed and CAN fail. Not that they always fail.

            What other guns have this specific problem for a feature that their customer base doesn't even want? People have been complaining about these for 20+ years. Show me other guns that have a specific, unnecessary addition that serves no shooting function and adds a failure point of complete lock up making it unusable.

              Trigger blade safeties, remember 2 years ago when /k/ was mass sperging about about M&Ps and other guns non stop because some idiot posted a video of him trying to purposely pull a trigger wrong and the trigger safety wouldn't disengage? Turns out it was nothing wow. Loaded chamber indicators. Finger grooves. Magazine disconnects. Internal extractors you can't drop over a chambered cartridge. CZ 75 roll pins. CSX double reset. Shield Arms mags chewing up mag releases. The list goes on and on. The b***hing does too, yet all of them are as innocuous than S&W revolver locks.

                Trigger blade safeties do serve a purpose because they allow you to remove an external frame/slide safety. What part of

                >Finger grooves.
                Literally impossible for finger grooves to lock up a gun
                >Magazine disconnects
                Very gay, can definitely lock up the gun. However that is their purpose, they do serve a "purpose" even if it's for morons who can't clear their guns. I'll give you this one but I can argue it has a role.
                >Internal extractors you can't drop over a chambered cartridge.
                The extractor is a critical part of the gun working. It's absolutely necessary
                >CZ 75 roll pins.
                Needed for the gun to work
                >CSX double reset.
                Poor design choice but it doesn't make the gun not work. That's a training issue. You can't train around a S&W lock failing.
                >Shield Arms mags chewing up mag releases.
                Doesn't cause the gun to lock up

                So you had maybe one if I'm generous and a bunch of other things that serve a purpose and don't cause the gun to lock up completely.

    It's an actual problem because it signals S&W as cucked by Hillary, anyone who owns it as cucked by Hillary, it's fricking ugly, and it can cause a failure in the gun. You don't know English. Get Hilldawg's knot out of your ass.

      I don't really think that argument is even convince because that would imply that *all* S&W handguns should have a lock. The performance center Shields don't even HAVE safeties. If it was purely a "cucked by Hillary" thing ALL their handguns would have them, but they don't. They don't have a Taurus Millenium G2 style internal lock. I reckon it's more economics of some kind--they already have them, they already make them, so it'd cost more to change it.

      Personally I've genuinely never have seen a revolver lock up. Hilary safety or not I've just never seen it happen.

      I've actually only seen 1 timing issue with a revolver where it just wagged back and forward quite a bit, but it was an extremely old high standard one.

      They can lock up for many reasons, for instance the crimp on a round failing and the bullet coming out of the case under recoil, jamming itself against the frame and cylinder locking the gun up. Happens mostly to poor reload/quality ammo and autoloader rounds (9mm mostly).
