That's a cool gun room. Everything is really neatly organized  and secure

Nice short video of Jerry Miculek shooting a 6.5” S&W 610 revolver (10mm Auto) at 100 & 200 yards.

Amazing groups!

I liked my model 19 until it broke the second time.
Revolvers are absolutely the best handgun teaching tools.
But they are difficult to tune, repair and maintain yourself.
This is why law enforcement moved to autos.

The underlined is an absolutely true statement: Revolver actions are lockwork mechanisms that rather brilliantly, reliably, accomplish many things at the same time, with an absolute minimum of parts - but this means they must be hand fitted.  New parts mean fitting, with pretty much only springs being drop- in replaceable.

On the other hand, once properly done, should last essentially for “life”, as they really can’t be pushed beyond design tolerance / fitting in normal use.

That basicly just leaves defects in manufacturing as a source of failure.

It’s dismaying to hear your 19 broke twice - that shouldn’t happen.

Im a Ruger fanboi

I also had a 4" m29 that broke twice.
But I sent it back to sw and they fixed it and turned it into a classic dirty Harry. It's great for photo ops with the right ammo.
