This made me think of when I tried Calibri sub sonics because they are supposed to be so quiet. They use only the primer to fire the round. In my .22 rifle I heard the trigger click and bullet hit target but that was about it. I then tried shooting them in my Heritage 4" revolver. It was about same loudness as a standard .22lr shot out of a rifle.
Huge difference.

I don't think people think about stuff anymore. I have been shooting revolvers for 50 of my 60 years and I figured it out right away.

You learn these little things and then forget that everybody else doesn't know about them and don't share them with others. It's the little things that will get you in trouble.

How can you say that, that one Cop used a silenced Colt Python in Magnum Force without any problem at all, the gun went phhht just like they always do in the Movies. Yeah, I know, it's a movie. Be nice if a movie would get it right just once but I don't expect that to happen in my lifetime.
Someone once sued Smith & Wesson because he cut the tip of his thumb off with the B/C gap by using a 500 Magnum with an improper grip. Good news is that he lost, because it'd documented 6 ways from Sunday that allowing any part of the body to get into that blast ring can cause permanent injury. BTW, it didn't help him a bit that the person who filed that lawsuit claimed to be an experienced handgun shooter. An obviously false claim because you learn pretty quickly with any centerfire revolver that blast ring can sting.

Got to understand movie guns act like no others. I started looking at revolvers in movies to see if they are even loaded.
Swartzenager has the best gun. His kills people while the 50 BG around him can't hit him with machine guns.

If anyone ever saw my Taurus 617T fired, they'd never put their fingers anywhere in front of the trigger ever again. I call that gun "The Dragon" because it spits fire and brimstone from every opening. LOL! Whoever said the timing is off is only partly correct. A mis-timed gun will often fail catastrophically, rather than just spit some lead. You're probably dealing with a too-wide cylinder/forcing cone gap. It's only supposed to be .002-.003 there.
