Jay yes you need a slot for each spare cylinder. Your welcome to have a go with mine sometime mate!

Lol should have guessed that you have one Dan.
will take you up on that mate, have shot black powder pistol and enjoyed it. was thinking of
putting in for a lbr but the boy won't be able to shoot it so this will do nicely.

I only got to shoot it twice with everyone else wanting to have a go.

I was looking at these today, the 4" version feels so nice.
I have a Ruger old army 45 stainless, which is very nice, but fancy a change.

Hi Frag Muppet

Can I ask exactly which brand of shotgun primers you're using ?

I have a brand new Westlake .357 and I've got a problem with the cylinder getting *very* tight when firing and I think some of my primers are just a shade loose and are moving back with recoil out of the pockets.

I'm using Remington STS209 primers - which are working perfectly on my Anvil Conversions Uberti pistol - and I wonder if they are slightly undersized.

Thanks
Paul M.

Hi Paul

I'm using Remington STS 209 Shotgun primers as well.
Brought 1000 of them off Alan when I got the gun from him.
They are working OK for me, they seat just fine, & 99% time pop out easy after firing.
I have noticed some carbon/powder residue after firing the Revolver quite a few times.
On one occasion the cylinder was tight sliding it back in but a quick wipe down with a cloth sorted that!
Speak to Alan see what he recommends.

I love my Revolver, there good fun to shoot, very accurate and a lot cleaner to use than my Black Powder Revolver.
Be interested to see if you can beat or match my 2" grouping at 30yards.

Stuart.
