DB;
I read somewhere a while ago that the original S&W 58 bore were a tad oversize for the commercial loads at the time. This supposedly caused accuracy lead build up issues. It was said to be one of the reason the 41 did not gain popularity originally.
Being on the east coast I didn't see any at the time in the wild.
Was there any truth to that?

@Dagga Boy I’m just here to leave this link to Headstamp publishing, which was recently founded by Ian McCollum of Forgotten Weapons, the owner of Armament research group and the guy who was behind the Vickers coffee table books. I think publishing a coffee table book of American fighting revolvers would be right in their lane.

Not trying to steel DB's possible answer, but as I said in my post earlier, the soft swagged lead bullets of the so called police load had more to do with the leading and inaccuracy with factory ammo than bore diameter. And the late '60s M-58 I owned had a bore of .410".Originally Posted by rsa-otc

And while you're working on that, some episodes with Ian would be great.

Also dropping a link to the short video where Ian talks about the company and says that they’re looking for authors.

Excellent revolver.
We need to talk about elk stocks. I want to put a set on that 45 revolver you sold me.
Absolutely!Excellent revolver.

Just a Hairy Special Snowflake supply clerk with no field experience, shooting an Asymetric carbine as a Try Hard. Snarky and easily butt hurt. Favorite animal is the Cape Buffalo....likely indicative of a personality disorder.

Does anyone actually know Ian for an intro or something.

Unfortunately, no. He did two interviews with Ken Hackathorn on the M1 carbine and Thompson, so he's obviously open to other people/ideas. Forgotten Weapons is on FaceBook, and so are you and your pics of classic/historic revolvers. Throw some Wolf and Klar bait in the water...

Dude, hit up Matt Landfair. I’m sure he’d be more than happy to hook you two up.
