"Of course there are exceptions."

True. John Hinkley's RG evidently went bang every time. Unfortunately, that day, anyway.

And my father-in-law's got one that he's quite proud of. He lives on a lake and keeps it loaded with shot loads for dinging squirrels on bird feeders. I hope that's all they ever need it for.

My RG goes bang a good 60% of the time - and spews lead off to the sides with each shot. With firing pin stuck forward, the Jenning is usually good for a slam fire, so both are now "retired". Guess that make me a "collector", huh? ;-)

+1 on what tx and flint said.

Had a lady in recent CHL class that tried to use similar (Davis .32). Malfs caused her to flunk first go-round of proficiency. I loaned her one of my 9s for the re-test and suggested that, if she fished, the Davis would make an excellent trotline weight.

I keep an old Jennings (and RG) around as examples of what NOT to risk one's life on - if there is any other viable alternative.
