mont1120 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 (edited) Well, after thousands of rounds, my sons .44 Magnum Blackhawk finally had a squib round go off. The big problem is it is lodged between the barrel and the cylinder, locking up the cylinder. To add to the misery, there are loaded rounds still in the cylinder. How does one safely get the bullet out of the barrel? I wanted to get some expert opinions before proceeding. If the barrel needs to be unscrewed to get this done right, off to the gunsmith it goes.

I was worried about the live rounds still in the cylinder. They're not under the hammer so don'⁸t worry. That said, it'd be prudent to not he looking into the cylinder while knocking the bullet back... Just sayin' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
