Ruger .454 Casull

"By then my gun had jammed," Greg says.

I'd like to know more about how a revolver "jammed".

My take, given the number of shots recounted, is that he ran it empty, and he was out of ammo.

I have a Colt Python that locked up so tight once it needed a gunsmith to fix it. Was using .357 FMJ practice ammo when it happened. A bad crimp made one of the bullets back out, apparently.

I’ve had a ejector rod unscrew on an older Smith, locking up the cylinder (they changed to a left hand thread in 1961, which was the dash-1 models), and had some unburned Unique powder get under the extractor star, same result. So twice in 40 years of revolvers... It happens, but not enough to worry about betting my life on a wheelgun coming through for me.
