Question: are arminius revolvers any good?
Answer: The designs took account of that, but it just isn't as durable as steel. For low-powered cartridges, like 22 rimfire or 32 S&W Long, it is OK. I have an Arminius in 32 Long (32 Long revolvers with target sights were hard to come by) and it's a decent gun. And I had a friend with one in 22, and that was OK too.
