[QUOTE="druryj, post: 3244906, member: 10465"] My guess is they replaced the cylinder, but in doing so, it's either not installed right, or something is amiss or not fitted properly inside. I[U] do not[/U] fiddle with revolver innards. They may seem simple but not if you've never taken one apart. S&W will make it right...I have to stay positive and realize it's a mechanical thing and mechanical things break on occasion. Either that or I got a lemon gun. Or a lazy guy at S&W who replaced the cylinder... Reminds me of a problem I had with a PPK years ago; the safety drum broke! Big old chunk of round metal, just snapped in half while firing. I sent it in, and they replaced it, but in doing so, they didn't fit the hammer release, which I understand, had 7 different variants that must be matched and/or fitted to the safety drum/hammer assembly somehow or the gun won't function properly. Stuff in guns is often measured in itsy bitsy increments, all of which have to work together. There are drop-in parts and then there are not-so-drop -in parts. Plus, being a Marine, I am much better at destroying stuff than fixing it. [/QUOTE]
