This morning i was watching my 12 year old son demolish targets with my S&W 625-3 (his favorite) and i noticed something pop up in the air near him and land at his feet.
My first thought was that it was a piece of plastic from the target, but when he finishes firing i see him go to emty the cylinder, then look over at me with a concerned "what the heck?" type of look on his face.
He points to where the cylinder release should be and its missing...completely gone and i can see the part on the inside of the frame to which it used to be fastened.
What i saw pop up near him was the cylinder release as it departed the gun. At his feet We found both the release and the head of the sheared allen screw thar failed.
The screw is sheared cleanly leaving e nothing to grab onto. My first thought is that this will have to be drilled out. Any experience with this type of issue?
