How do you fix that scott? Is there anything? I have a similar issue with a 38 revolver.
Tighten the ejector rod. There are a couple of ways to do it that are in the S&W thread in the link.
Thanks. I've got one I've gave up on and put somewhere. I love those older 38 specials.
Getting it open is the real trick. That link has some ideas from people who are far savvier than I. Once it's open it's a simple matter to screw the ejector rod back into place, as long as you remember that it's threaded backwards (rightie/tightie doesn't operate in S&W-land). I'm not aware of any way to permanently fix the problem... on my Model 10 I just make it a practice to check tightness of the ejector rod every few cylinders-full.
Once you get the cylinder to swing out, the model number followed by the engineering change number can be seen stamped on the frame in the crane recess. For instance, mine says "10-5" which is a Model 10, change #5.
