hehehehe ISP, if I did try it CERTAINLY wouldn't be in my Dick Special

. For the time being, I don't have the means or knowhow to self load ammo. Neither of my Official Police guns would I put that kind of wear on it just for experimenting or even practice (self defense as a last line of backup defense ammo maybe) assuming they would hold up safely with it.
If I could do it, I would start it out in my S&W Highway Patrolman N frame that I knew would handle it okay.

I wouldn't mind getting a beat up old Colt .38 medium frame and trying it........mounted on a stand with wire attached to the trigger and me standing in another room pulling the trigger by wire. In other words, I'd want to be standing AWAY from the gun until I was sure it worked.
