"I don't see any holes in the target....."

I had the job of changing out this barrel on an Officer's Model Colt .38 a few years ago; kinda interesting. After I slabbed off the side out of curiosity, the next morning there were raised bumps on the exposed lead cores from compressed air trapped in the hollowpoints! I never did find out who did it; the revolver was purchased at auction by a friend. My only charge to him was that I got to keep the barrel.

Just Damn! I'd love to know the story behind that.

Full Disclosure: I talk about this over on my blog. Post is scheduled to go off at noon.

That was one tough barrel. I guess with a revolver the extra pressure can escape from in front of the cylinder, but there would still be some between the bullets.

Unless I'm counting wrong, he had to reload. How many bullets do you guys see?

Ten.

Wow.

If they were all hollowpoints, eleven.
