Section 8: Handguns Subject: M-37 Msg# 1060489

| We were told the cylinder wouldn't hold up for more than 10 rounds, even the special loads that's why aircrew didn't want any part of them. I heard they were all scrapped because of concerns that civilians might get their hands on one with bad results. | ||||||

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Nope, this is just a standard M37 Lightweight Chief's Special with the early flat latch. S&W and Colt both made those aluminum snubbies, called M13 Aircrewman. I remember you got one reload, that was it as the cylinder was shot after 10 rounds. I don't know about that. I do know that a special low pressure .38spl round was developed for use in these revolvers. Using standard pressure.38spl cartridges would likely damage these revolvers if they were fed a steady diet of standard pressure cartridges. Harvey |
