100 yr. old Russian 7-shooter. Roman was not too happy with the performance of the PPV ammo. It only ran 600 fps, not the full spec. 1100. I'm not sure what gives myself but I was just wanting it to go bang and get some correct boxer primed brass. The rims are thinner than .32-20 and it's bigger around and much longer. For what it is, the exotic, $0.50 a pop is not bad if the brass lasts. I think if I neck size only and bump back the shoulder I can minimize working it. We'll see if that works like it does on TC's.

The ample cylinder gap and spring loaded cylinder actually help reliability but the zero gap at firing I still don't understand a need. It is interesting the concept of a total gas seal and it indeed functions.

We found the little gun quite accurate and a full equal of the S&W Hand Ejector .32 WCF in performance. FWIW, Al Goerg killed his first handgun deer with a Hand Ejector .32, a 115 gr. running maybe 750 fps! Reloading is a bit cumbersome in comparison but no more than any SA. It's rated high on the fun scale.

Sticky extraction is a small issue

Put aside $20 from every trade up to blow on T & B!
