Got to shoot both guns over lunch today. Late getting back to work!
First the .357:
I shot just 6 shots of 115g 9mm through it, just to make sure it went bang. The off-hand shots went way low but grouped ok (they better for measly ~12 yards!). Almost off the 8x11 paper shooting for middle (5" low?)... So 9mm cylinder works ... done with that, put it away. So popped in the .357 cylinder and test. Same thing with 158s! Had to crank the rear sight quite high before it was hitting where it should. Another words the front sight is way to high. I see some filing coming on the front sight as I want to get the rear sight back in the slot, but not bottomed out. Other than that it shot very well. At around 12 yards off-hand, 4 make one hole, 5th opening the group to 7/8", and I pulled one way right (2" from group). Just needs tuned up properly now to remove the creep, smooth up the action, and get down to around 2# pull. I like it, just needs some work ... as Rugers usually do!
Now the .327. Out of the 50 rounds of .32 H&R Mag, ~10 primers were 'punctured'. So will look at the firing pin tonight. Note that with my Baby Vaquero this did not happen. Plus the loads are 'normal' pressure loads! Also, it sometimes 'hung' while trying to cock. No not hanging up on the transfer bar from what I can tell. So be looking into that as well. Shot ok though! Sights are right where I think they should be. So all good but for these two minor issues.
With both guns, I was still able to reach out and touch the 77 yard targets once sighted in... So I think accuracy isn't going to be a problem.
Anyway, that is my short review. Both guns are really going to be fun, once the quirks are ironed out!!!!
