Not rare. I shoot USPSA and Steel Challenge and have seen all kinds of revolver malfunctions in matches. Cylinder binding because bullets walked out under recoil, broken firing pin, cylinder falling out on the ground, timing issues (chamber not aligned with bore axis), broken springs, etc.
Most are catastrophic, meaning that competitors cannot fix them on the clock, and if they don't have a spare gun they cannot finish the match either.
- zepto 6y agoPeople rarely use stock, unmodified revolvers for steel challenge or USPSA, and they rarely shoot factory ammunition. Almost all of the modifications are about intentionally trading reliability for speed. I don’t dispute what you’ve seen but I don’t think it’s representative of what would be used for self defense or combat.
