I was trying to send a PM to Dfariswheel but it looks like it didn't want to let me, so I'll try posting here:Follow yp E frame questions. I went ahead and put the missing latch spring guide inside my '39 Official Police, everything seems to be operating fine. When handling the cylinder has a very small amount of play side to side in the front. If I wiggle the cylinder side to side I feel the crane get away from the frame just a bit. If I put my thumb where the crane meets the frame, everything gets solid. If I do the colt lockup test and squeeze the trigger all the way back, it does lock up tight, no play at all. Because I know the gun is tight when the cartridge is going off I know there is no issue, I just wonder why there's that bit of play when this gun seems to have seen very little use, and I treat it gently, no whipping the cylinder open or shut, no speed reloads, just range plinking. The OMM I have in 22LR has similar play in the crane but it is noticeably less.
Do you think the 39 OP is looser due to wear, or just because these were done by hand each one is different? By the way the play isn't much, it's not like it's sloppy.
Thanks for the input
