[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 2572753, member: 14057"] They will handle full loads no problem. Take a look at the forcing cone where it meets the cylinder. At the 6 o'clock position it is thinner to clear the crane. This is on the k-frames. The stories I have read say that after 1000's of rounds of 125 grain bullet the forcing cone will crack where it is thin. The round count was crazy high for this to happen. Supposedly it is blamed on the fast 125s are shorter (less bearing area) and they make the jump from cylinder to forcing cone maybe getting a little cocked and beat the crap out of forcing cone. Like I said count has be super high for this to result. This was the purpose of the L frame guns. Beefed them up. The K frames are like beutifully built German car, but just because it will do 180 MPH turning 5000 RPM you dont drive it like that every time you hit the key. It won't last as long. Respect it and it will last for ever. There are few stories about cracked cones you can read up on it. [/QUOTE]
