Sidearms & Scatterguns Fire lapping a handgun?

[jericho]

Does it make as much of a difference as it would in a long gun? Is it worth it for a handgun barrel?

You bet it's worth it if it's a Ruger revolver. Try pushing a slug from the muzzle to the forcing cone - it'll hang up right there. A reverse choke is bad for accuracy. I had a Security Six once you could actually see the wrinkles, the barrel was cranked in so tight.

Beartooth Bullets website has a bunch of good info on firelapping, and their products to do it work just like they say it does.

It can be very worthwhile. Here is an article I wrote some time back on the subject that may help.
