I've heard of chain fires, but fortunately have never experienced of witnessed one. The SA jams were all the result of insufficient crimping of the bullets; they wandered forward under recoil and bound the cylinder. With the DA, I managed to get a case stuck between the extractor and the face of the cylinder, a "stovepipe", if you will.
