I'm no gunsmith, but I think the first to thing that happens when you press the trigger, is the cylinder stop thing under the cylinder drops to allow the cylinder to move before the hand tries to rotate the cylinder. Sounds normal that the cylinder would them move freely with minimal trigger...
I don't personally have any use for a lot of calibers, but wouldn't say I "dislike" them. .223 comes to mind- too big for small game, too small for big game.
Got a magnifying glass on the barrel- the letters do look familiar , but running in different directions and , well, weird. I'll try and borrow a good camera. Pretty realistic S@W copy, for sure. Thanks all!!
Friend got this small frame 38 S@W cal. 5 shot from dads estate, . Pic really doesn't show barrel writing , but there's a lot. They're not from our alphabet. Ideas?
Well, the resale generally sucks, should be to your advantage as a buyer. The variety and availability of factory ammo sucks as well, not an advantage,; you may want to reload if you plan to use it on a regular basis
If there was a way to weed out all the new fangled stuff, and have a category for just the "classics", it would get my interest. The latest "fad" stuff bores me. Old, I guess.
