I just returned from a range trip with my new model 29, and I've noticed some strange wear marks on the cylinder.
I've never seen this before, as I said the gun is brand new and the marks weren't there this morning when I left for the range. It's almost as if a screw for the rear sight is hitting the cylinder:
But the screw is quite secure. I was shooting American Eagle 240 grain hollow points and some 200 grain .44 specials, can't quite remember the brand.
The gun is crazy accurate, I was hitting an 8" steel plate at fifty yards with little trouble. I very much like this gun, but these marks worry me. Any advice? If I have to I will take it back to the gun shop where I bought it for service, but I'm about 150 miles away for the summer so I'd like to hear what you guys think before I head up there.
