It's a "Show & Tell" thread, we stay clear of discussions involving the politics/pro's & con's of concealed carry.
This simple rule keeps a Firearm thread on a Shaving forum.
Being new to the forum, you probably were not aware.

Further to John's point - here is the link to the rule and to a blog post with further details. I think it probably bears occasional repeating on threads like this one:

Here is my Seecamp LWS380:

Here is another pic of my daily carry in its elephant holster and its custom nightly resting place.

My new puppy, Hellpup. Booms like a cannon with the 10 inch barrel. Fun boom stick.

I picked up a box of Hornady Critical Defense ammo in .357 magnum today without doing any research. 125 grain if I remember correctly. When I got home I looked up a few reviews and noticed there were some issues with rounds not firing and jamming in revolvers. I also noticed some raving reviews. Anyone here have experience with them?

Not in a revolver, but I've run some through a couple of 380 semi-autos and all went well. Those cone shaped projectiles feed real well in a semi that is finicky about what it eats. The only way I could imagine a revolver locking up would be if the boolits weren't crimped sufficiently and moved forward in recoil. That could tie up a rev.

Years ago with a S&W 44 with a swing out cylinder I was ejecting my brass with the muzzle down. Was using either Hercules Unique or 2400. The unburnt powder granules were getting between the ejector plate and the milled out portion it sits in on the cylinder. Couple of strings and the cylinder was bound up.

Once I figured it out I cleaned the granules out and all was well. From then on I always eject brass muzzle tilting up with swing out cylinder revolvers.

If you happen to find those articles again, then please link to them. I've not seen this before, other than people who can't reload properly or they are popping the cork while reloading.
