Application / Regulation advice Why not ?

I just wonder, why don't they make these guns with rimfire and centerfire calipers ? is there a law against that ?

The cylinder guards work fine. Hickok shot the Rossi circuit judge and seemed to regard it favourably (it has gas guards too). The SR-45 is basically a SBR knockoff of the circuit judge. One small criticism of the SR-45 only an owner might notice: the cylinders are a millimetre or two bigger than a Rossi or Taurus. The cylinders can also be stiff (the guards can also impact the free spinning).

Would it loosen up the cylinders after some broke-in ?

There is a bit of forward and backward play to the cylinder. Combined with the necessary guards, the result is that the cylinder can hang up a little on the frame. It’s not terrible, but you don’t feel very cowboy when you have to carefully rotate the cylinder. The ejection is also a bit stiff out of the box. I’ve only got around 500 rounds of various calibers through mine, but I don’t think this aspect is likely to change much. I lubricate the ejection. I carefully clean and oil the rest. I suspect the circuit judge might be kind of similar to be honest. I only had to gently retighten all the screws one time after 500 rounds. These guns are perfectly fine for the money. People just knock anything Turkish, in my opinion lol. I’m grateful to the Turks for making stuff for our busted and dumb market, myself.
