Funny thing is, I did not expect to have a No. 3 American drop into my life, literally. I had been working on a stand alone historical article for the Chronicle on the S&W American. Then the planets aligned and I have modified it into part one of a two part article on the Cimarron No. 3 American. Part one (the history), will possibly be in the July 2024 Chronicle. Part Two, Mike's efforts and a review of the revolver, should be in October 2024.
I'll do testing with several loads: Black Hills .44 Russian, some factory .44 Colt, some standard 246 grain .44 Special, and my original 44 Russian factory duplication load of 5.3 grains of Unique under a Bear Creek 246 conical .44 Russian .429 bullet.
