![]() They need to be malleable enough so that you can force the rounds into the clips but that also means the tines of the clip can be easily bent out of alignment. Moon clips are stamped out from sheets of spring steel. Worse yet is that the moon clip may prevent you from opening the cylinder to remove it. This occurs when the firearm has been dropped on the ejector rod or when the revolver has been mishandled, usually by someone flipping the cylinder closed as they had seen James Cagney do in a plethora of gangster movies.Ī bent moon clip can completely stop the cylinder from moving. The ejector rod can get bent and interfere with the closing of the cylinder. It is a good idea to check the tightness of the ejector rod before use. A close inspection of your ammo may reveal imperfections in the crimp and your owner’s manual will generally warn you against the types of ammo not to use in your lightweight handgun.ĭuring recoil on Smith & Wesson revolvers (usually those made prior to 2000) the ejector rods can unscrew themselves jamming the cylinder shut. That’s a difficult task to perform during the stress of a self-defense encounter.īullet creep can be caused by an improperly crimped bullet (and I have seen this happen with factory ammo as well as reloads) or by shooting high velocity loads in a lightweight revolver. In order to clear this jam, you will need a mallet and a dowel rod so that you can tap (or pound) the bullet back into the shell casing. Here is what can happen to a revolver:ĭuring recoil, the bullets in the non-firing chambers may creep out of their shell casing causing the bullet to collide with the barrel’s forcing cone thereby locking up the cylinder. However, with a revolver, the malfunction will usually take you out of the fight. ![]() The big difference between “jams” in revolvers and semi-automatic pistols is that most pistol malfunctions can be cleared fairly quickly.

I’ve had two bullets that were duds that would not ignite but that is not the guns fault, I think its just the the low end Tula ammo I run through it. The FTL or FTE hasn’t happened yet so to those having those problems, clean your gun and oil the parts or sell it if you hate it that much. In the case of my used gun the feed ramp is already partially shiny from the paint coming off due to use.Īs for firing the gun in rapid fire action I have not had the gun jam once during live fire since i got it.

Just be sure that the rounds are slightly angled upwards when loading the clip and not straight with the top of the clip. The bullet can tilt up and down in place while loaded in the clip. Sometimes the round gets hung up trying to slide into the breach but I think that’s due to the way the clip holds the bullets. So far the only hitch I see with it is the first round loading action.
