[MileHi]

Not sure it's the same, but someone recently emailed me a pic of a S&W 629 that blew off top half of cyl and top strap.

That is why I'm looking. I had an e-mail that blamed "Chinese ammo". That other (same gun was a hand load double charge IIRC. Myths need to be corrected.

There are numerous postings at many gun forums from 2009. All seem to tell the same story........ Chinese ammo. Some question the story.
