Frequently Asked Questions

What budget revolvers were tested in the Military Arms Channel video?

The video tested three budget revolvers: the Arminius Titan Tiger ($120), the Smith & Wesson Model 10-6 ($250), and the Ruger SP101 (.357 Magnum). The focus was on their functionality and reliability despite their low cost.

What were the main findings regarding the Arminius Titan Tiger's performance?

The Arminius Titan Tiger, despite its $120 price tag, proved functional for range use. However, a mechanical assessment revealed it was slightly out of time in double-action mode, which can lead to lead shaving.

Did the Smith & Wesson Model 10-6 perform well?

The Smith & Wesson Model 10-6 demonstrated high accuracy during testing. However, it experienced a failure where the ejector rod unscrewed itself, causing the cylinder to seize, a common issue that MAC noted.

What was the intended use for the Ruger SP101 in this video?

The Ruger SP101 was specifically acquired for an upcoming trip to South Dakota to be used with shot shells for protection against prairie rattlesnakes while hunting prairie dogs. Its suitability for this niche application was demonstrated.
