Frequently Asked Questions

What revolvers are featured in the Cranky Gun Reviews video?

The video showcases four revolvers: the Smith & Wesson 637 J-frame, a Charter Arms Undercover, a Ruger SP101 (3-inch barrel stainless steel), and a Ruger LCR. All are primarily shot with .38 Special ammunition.

What types of ammunition does the reviewer use for testing?

The reviewer uses Winchester White Box flat nose jacketed, Bull's-eye target ammunition (158 grain lead semi-wadcutter), and old-school wad-cutters. Some reloaded ammunition from MM Reloads is also mentioned.

What are the reviewer's initial impressions of the Ruger SP101's trigger?

The Ruger SP101's double-action trigger is described as having a long, smooth, pendulum-like arc that breaks cleanly, feeling very different and smoother than the J-frame and Charter Arms triggers.

Does ammunition type affect point of impact in revolvers?

Yes, the reviewer demonstrates that different ammunition types, such as wad-cutters and bullseye loads, can indeed affect the point of impact when shooting revolvers, as shown in a specific drill.
