This video delves into the phenomenon of 'crimp jump' or 'bullet creep' in 9mm revolvers. It explores how recoil can cause bullets to gradually advance out of their casings during firing, potentially leading to cylinder binding and misfires. The content aims to provide insights for firearm enthusiasts, collectors, preppers, and sportsmen interested in the mechanical intricacies of revolvers and ammunition performance.

This review of the Ruger Super Redhawk Alaskan, presented by Brett, highlights its potent .454 Casull/.45 Long Colt capability for self-defense against large predators. While powerful and versatile, the review details a potential 'dark secret': crimp jump, where recoil can cause bullets to dislodge and lock the cylinder. Brett provides a practical demonstration on how to clear this malfunction, offering a balanced perspective on the firearm's strengths and weaknesses.
