I’ve shot my revolver on the range for thousands of rounds without that stoppage. Then again, I do point the muzzle up when ejecting cases. I also clean it after every use, so I don’t expect it to happen during CCW carry. I also don’t carry a reload when carrying my revolver, so it wouldn’t make a difference anyway.

My revolver is what I carry when my primary concern is concealment. Other times I carry my. 45, with a round chambered.

I let my wife shoot my 686 one day and she jammed that sucker up good. The cylinder would not budge. I was amazed because I had always heard that revolvers were supposed to be unjammable. careful inspection revealed that she had gotten just a little bit of powder residue under the star ejector when she reloaded and that was sufficient to lock it up. So, myth busted. Revolvers can jam.

I carry a 327 nightguard occasionally but, to me anyways, it feels a little bit like riding a motorcycle without a helmet. It feels nice and cool and comfy but you know it wasn't the best choice. But, chances are, it will be all right.
