![]() AFAIK, Freedom Arms revolvers are cast, but no one says anything about them being weak or poorly designed and the one I had was for the most part a masterpiece.īesides, comments like yours, especially overblown internet myth ones, do nothing but fuel "this brand vs that brand" debates.Īctually, the forcing-cone issues with K-Frames and Magnum loads are well documented. If Rugers are cast, and Smiths forged, how can a Rugers with the same heft and mass be the stronger?Īnother point to consider is the quality of the casting vs the quality of the forging IE materials used for the process. If you do research, you will see that there are no such failures concerning these calibers, it was only the 357 magnum, and like I said, only then to due to negligence. The S&W K frame was however chambered in 22, 32 and 38 caliber rounds. When this was not done, there were issues. Guns should not be designed expecting negligence by the owner or user and the S&W 357 K frame guns were designed for the user to perform simple maintenance after firing. This only holds true for 357 magnum K frames and only then if the gun was poorly taken care of. But stronger and lack the K's weakness at the lower point of the barrel's back end where there's a "notch" and they tend to crack. ![]()
