I've posted before about how I love my beat-to-heck Smith Model 19 with its wonderful trigger pull and great accuracy.
I have been shooting just puff .38spcs in it for club competition and never had an issue. I decided that since the gun is chambered for .357 magnum I ought to shoot that cartridge more. I bought some 158gr reloads that are not painful at all to shoot, more like a 38spc +P+.
I went to shoot today and after a few rounds the gun just locked up. Trigger would not pull, cylinder would not turn, hammer would not cock, latch would not release cylinder. After a while I tried again and the cylinder would open.
Dont know what's going here but would appreciate some insight.
