Old fashioned detective story

Always enjoy these stories... never plausible but entertaining nevertheless and the amount of cars Paul & Steve get through - it's a wonder they don't talk incessantly about their ever increasing insurance premiums!
Still just great to listen to - by Timothy I enjoy them in spite of numerous impersonations and various characters being beaten up - the stories still take you to a different era - one that seems much more pleasant than the one we live in now.

Paul Temple and Steve - Spoiler Alert...

I'd have thought that Mr Durbridge would have researched his ballistics a bit more thoroughly, but apparently not.
Revolvers don't take silencers.
Why? They don't work.
How so? There's no gas seal between the front face of the rotating chamber and the interior face of the action where the barrel's entrance is located. so you could in theory machine moderator-threads to the muzzle and fit the biggest most effective moderator in existence- but the report would still be ordinarily loud, even if the muzzle blast were indeed reduced. Hand guns of all types are short range weapons despite what may be inferred by certain hollywood productions, so a revolver's report would be just as audible no matter what was fitted.
(They're only "silencers" in TV/cinema; to shooters and the gun trade/licensing authorities they're "moderators", and far, far less effective than drama productions would infer...
Incidentally, users of revolvers know to keep their fingers well away from the area mentioned above, as the localised blast from that little gap can injure the shooter's hand if so placed, especially the blast from the larger calibre high-energy weapons now in use in certain walks of life.

Cocktail Parties!

Paul Temples character is consistently good, you know what you’re going to get - the story line always seems to follow the same pattern, a mystery, suspects, and a party at the end..

Can listen to these over and over again - that probably says it all!
