I recently purchased a ruger SS 6" blued from a pawn shop, date of manufacture 1975, with a chip on the front sight and moderate holster wear (it came with the holster, which is nice). The gun fires .38 special perfectly, but when I fire .357 through it (fiocchi 158 gr.) the cylinder and hammer seize up (was firing in single action) and the cylinder takes considerable more force then usual to open. I found another forum post which appears to have a solution to my problem, so I ordered a center pin spring. I cannot unscrew the extractor rod myself without marring it up, and will probably have a gunsmith replace it.
I came here to get a second opinion. Picture of the gun included.
