Question about my "new" 25-5

I'll post pics soon...lots of real work to do first...but anyway...

I can't get to the "revolver check out" right now, but I pretty much knew what to look for. Everything looks good except...


If the cylinder is closed and the hammer is down, and I press upward on the crane pivot, it moves VERY SLIGHTLY up...I cannot measure it with my hands, but I would say .003" or so. Is this a problem? I have a few days of "check out time" before I have to stick with my decision.

Note, movement isn't there when the hammer is back (cocked).


Thanks in advance!

.003 dont sound like much to me. Its probably ok. But I'm no afficiando of smiths either. Jim'll probly be along soon.

The real test is to see how she shoots.;)

I am willing to wait for a prognosis before I shoot it.


But I can hardly wait...the trigger is the BEST I have ever felt! DA is like BUTTAH!

No, fairly normal.

The reason you can't do this with the hammer cocked is because the hand is pushing up on the index notch.

Yup...that's why I tried it both ways.

No, fairly normal.

Awesome, the right answer from the right guy. Thanks!
