Hello-
Just picked up my brand new GP100 6" SS. the revolver is in brand new shape looks great, timing looks fine, in full lockup doesn't appear to have excessive cylinder movement sided to side, and end-shake looks OK. Every GP i checked out before i bought this one has some sided to side cylinder play and some amount of end-shake although minimal. I don't have gauges to check this but checking each cylinder, revolver in full lockup, side to side movement is almost non-existent, BUT checking each cylinder 3 of them have almost no end-shake, and the other 3 have the very slightest amount of end-shake!
I know that a very small amount of play is desired for these revolvers, but is it ok for some cylinder's end-shake to vary slightly from others?
Thanks for you time.
Jim
