Official Police trouble.

On a lark I purchased an OP in .38-200. The problem is when attempting Double Action (and for that matter SA as well) pull, four times out of six I would describe as reasonable, the fifth as somewhat difficult and the sixth as darn near impossible. There appears to be a dragline on the business end of the cylinder for about 300 degrees across the outside of the chambers. It does not appear excentric. There is a perceptable back-and-forth movement of the cylinder. Holding the cylinder rearward while putting through its DA paces does not seem to make this go away.

Any insight on this appreciated.

Thanks,
Waidmann

Barrel to cylinder gap too small, and the cylinder face isn't square.
