It won't push the empty shell clear of the cylinder. Polish the chambers, use clean burning ammo like CCI. Index the cylinder so you get a good firm snap to the ejector rod.

Should have bought a stainless shopkeeper when you could find them and they were in the 500 range. They arent anymore. Last edited by killerv; 04/12/23.

A fella came in with a pristine Win model 70 in 30-06 and Weaver K4 scope. He wanted to buy the little Bearcat we had in the store and the '06 was his trading stock. The owner gave him $50 credit for the rifle and the guy had to cough up an additional $4 to seal the deal! I was aghast at the robbery I was witness to, but didn't dare say a word... They're a nice little handgun, but the adjustable sights and roll out cylinder on my SW 63 make the choice a no brainer for me. BT53 "Where do they find young men like this?" Reporter Savidge, Iraq Elk, it's what's for dinner....

All older models with fixed sights. None were tack drivers but one was a pretty fair plinking pistol. I'd still sorta like to own one, but I don't see a practical application.
