There's no one named sir here. I remember some of my 10th grade geometry. Enough to know what a cylinder is. A regular cylinder that is. I never heard of an oblique one before but it sounds like it goes off on an angle.

I was also thinking of a tapered cylinder (funnel shaped).
They didn't teach hyperbolic and parabolic cylinders when I took geometry.

My neighbor has a Bulldog and loves it. His only complaint is he can't shoot his for prolonged periods because it freezes up. You wheel gunners know if this is not unusual?
 

Had a Taurus model 85 'freeze up' once. Turned out to be a primer that 'backed out' of a homegrown +P load.

That oblique cylinder looks like what I pictured in my mind. I'm going to look at some of the other pics in case we get quized on this stuff later.  ;)

Geometry was not my cup....calculus was OK though.
I've been out of high school over 22 years.................my head hurts.

I never had calculus but I had lots of algebra and other crap. Geometry was easier for me because I could actually see the objects in the real world. Algebra never made any sense because I couldn't see any of the equations in the real world. They were just numbers and letters instead of real things and after a few years it got boring. That finally changed when I tutored my wife in college algebra. She had a book that showed drawings of some of the equations as real objects. I finally know 20 years too late why (a+b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab. I found a picture online that shows it too. The 4 pieces add up make the whole square. Too bad they didn't show us in school that all the numbers and letters actually did mean something.

Wow. We got a little off topic here, huh?

My Undercover doesn't freeze up and I wouldn't hesitate to add that freezing up is completely unacceptable for any gun that you need to trust when the SHTF. When my Ruger SP101 was new, it'd lock up occasionally, right out of the box. I sent it in to Ruger and they polished it up a bit and de-burred the trigger mechanism. It has been a trooper ever since. If your buddy's Charter is fairly new, I'd tell him to contact them and they'll get it working right.

As these new Charter rimless guns go, I'm leaning toward either 9 or 40, but I sort of wish they'd decided to go with moon clips just for the sake of quick reloads. I'm still interested anyway. I mean, does anyone else make a .40 snubby? Great BUG for someone who already carries a .40.

I just talked to him about the new charters and he brought the locking issue up again. He thinks the expansion from the heat during long sessions makes the cylinder and barrel gap 'go away'. By long, he means about at the 60 round mark. Needs to leave it for 5 or 10 minutes before he can spin the cylinder again.

And I agree these guns seem be a nice BUG choice. Wonder if the .45 would shoot GAP like the 9 would shoot .380? Wonder if they are designing a speed loader for it?

Me: Naw, we just apply a gun-shaped remedy to those extreme life threatening situations that call for it. All the less urgent problems we're willing to discuss.

The head of .45 GAP brass is thicker but that's on the inside of the case. Externally they're the same diameter as far I know. It should be a perfect fit.

If it takes 10-12 cylinders full of ammo to overheat and bind a BUG or any carry gun that shouldn't really be a problem. No one would carry that many reloads.

Tell you what...I'd get real ambitious next week and shoot some video of my MagnaPort Charter...it is a sweet little gun! And BTW, Marshal and I will meet with Charter at SHOT and line up some cool giveaways for DRTV! I'll also ask MagnaPort if they'll do a custom Charter for us to give away as well...

The saying is that it does not but unless the first strike eliminates the original attraction there is no reason why not.
