I'll make this quick. A shooting buddy and I were discussing DW revolver's. I was educating on the wonders of all the different caliber's. And he brought up an interesting question. And since I have only owned them in my two favorite caliber's 357 and 44's.

His question was, what if you owned for example a .22 small frame and a 357 small frame of identical finish. Would it be possible to accidentally install the 22 on the 357? I was not sure I told him. I guess if you were smoking crack. The thought occurred to me, are the threads different on each caliber to keep this from happening? Now if one were smoking crack he deserves it. But if he is just careless, oh the horror!surprised

Different thread pitches prevent doing that.  DW thought of the 'human element' when they built these guns.

Anything worth doing is worth doing well.

Thank you. That just proves I'm never too old to learn.worship I had a feeling they took in account the liability factor. And the dumbness of their fellow man.

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.
