I recently started reloading for .44, and have put maybe 80 handloads through my 29-2 lately. Yesterday I shot 36 rounds through it, and a few times I had lead splinters or something come back and hit my cheek. I had eye surgery not too long, and always wear eye protection, but I don't like having anything hit my face when I'm shooting. What would cause this? Is the gun getting worn out or out of time or something?
The screw that holds the cylinder opener button thingie (don't know what it's called) on has play in it too. Right after I first got the gun, I was shooting it and that screw fell out. After replacing it, I've had to tighten the screw a few times, but even when fully tightened, there's still some play between the button and the frame. I noticed my new 629 has a little slop there too though. Is this normal? Because the rattling sound it makes sure is annoying.
