Yep, another 'Chop found it's way here a couple days ago.
This one's a Model 15-1 .357 with a 6" barrel. The previous owner rubbed 90%
of the bluing off the rear sight & it's got some character marks,
but is in fine shape otherwise.
The Hogue feels great as usual, but it doesn't look right on a 'Chop IMO…now it's wearing a cool wood grip from Shoot's stash. (I've decided my camera may be dying…the pics are all pixelated
)
An attempt at being artsy-schmartsy…too bad the pic quality has gone to crap.
I took it to my "range" today & fed it some of my reloads…it wasn't too happy about that. Apparently most of those rounds had some high pressure issues.
Woops.
And a big thanks to Steve, for being the go-between & passing on my e-mail address!

Charger, nice looking Pork Chop. I like the artsy-schmartsy pic. Did those reloads get stuck in the cylinder? Careful now..........

If that's the one off ArfCom, it took a long time to reel that one in, eh?
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.

Nice vintage grips 
... they really look good on the chop though. Talk to us about the pressure issues. Good news is DW's can run the higher pressure compared to other guns.

Yeah Steve, this was one of those transactions that was just doomed to be slow from the start. The seller said his work schedule was pretty funky & that once he received payment, it would probably be a few days before he was back home & could ship. So that took some extra time, then it landed at my FFL's place the same day he & the family left home for an out of state funeral.
It's ok though, I'm a patient guy. This deal wasn't as bad as my M40 transaction...that payment got lost in transit, had to do major jump-through-flaming-hoop stuff on that one!
Jaggman, you guessed it...at least 50% of those reloads got stuck in the cylinder. Had to use a stick for extraction. I should have listened to my little voice & brought my Security Six or one of the FB's along, they have smoother cylinder chambers & may have not stuck so easily. Porkchop chambers are more rough inside...at least all mine are.

Thanks again for the grips Shoot, this one feels really nice in the hand.
I'll go post my pressure issues in the reloading thread in a few minutes...gotta see if I can coax my camera into some non-pixelated pics of primers.

CF, nice looking chop. I think you need to find some 1970 era boxes of ammo for a photo shoot with it.

That's a good idea Jody, I'll do that.
