I received a S&W 19 has a gift a few years ago and as I started to learn more about revolvers I came to realize it had about .005in of end shake. I fixed the end shake using the rings from Brownells but now the problem is that my cylinder gap is around .014. I dont plan on leaving it this way, but since I don't shoot this one a lot getting the problem fixed hasn't been real high on my list.
Tomorrow I'm taking someone to the gun range for the first time. Usually when I do this I let someone shoot a .22 for most of the trip and then move them up to a light .38 load before we leave. Unfortunately my collection has dwindled to the point that this is the only gun I have available for that task. Would there be any harm in shooting some (less than 50) .38 target loads through a gun with this much gap?
Thanks,
Matthew
