After 50 years and 19 S&W revolvers with never a problem, number 20 caught up with me. I recently acquired a S&W Model 19-3 and a Colt Trooper Mark 5. The ejector rods on both keep coming loose. I just read RCmodels corrective procedure for an “N” frame in this old thread.

Before I louse something up, I would like to confirm that the procedure also applies to the “K” frame 19-3, which it should, AND will the same procedure apply to the Colt? Also, on the Colt, when I screw the ejector rod in tight, it binds the cylinder rotation. If I only tighten it until it barely hits bottom, no problem, but comes loose with the first 6 rounds.
