Excellent Q, NE Hunter...I never even thought of that. It obviously wasn't an issue in the revolver.

I did pick up some 22 shells that are essentiall silent. They wouldn't even come close to cycling the action. Had to work the action every time.

Those quiet little shells are pretty slick. You can hear the hammer/pin drop and then hear the bullet hit the target. Works great for unwanted cats...OOPS I mean varmints. LOL
