Bought a new 1917 and loved it. Shot great, thought I would try speed loading it using full moons. On the third try- the cylinder and crane pushed right out of the gun with a moon of 230's onto the gravel. I removed the yoke retaining screw and found that the screw/pin now had a spring between the screw and pin. Real confidence builder for a self-defense pistol. Anybody else have this problem? I have been shooting all frame size of Smith's since 1977 and never had this happen before.
