Problem was, I couldn't get through a magazine without some kind of failure. What I learned is that the gun had to be kept squeaky clean in order for it to function. I replaced the recoil spring, and 2 magazines... none of it really fixed the problem. 

I never would have used this for anything serious. It was a range gun... and that is all. 
Scratched my itch. Mine was also .44 Magnum and it was a handful. 

I would love to try one in .357 Magnum. I imagine it'd be soft. 

I even had a holster made for it...
