I have a 27-2, blued - 6 inch barrel. Inherited it, but it has been shot very little. I have shot it twice now, and there seems to be a problem. The cylinder binds up, but on only one of the chambers. As the gun gets dirtier it gets harder and harder to cycle past this one chamber. It is rubbing a shiny spot on the right side of the forcing cone and on a small section of the cylinder. Ejection rod is tight and I can't discern any "wobble" when rotating the cylinder. Any ideas? Could the cylinder have a bump on it or be out of true that way?
I like the gun, and it is reasonably accurate, though I expected better. If I send the gun to S&W would this be covered under warranty, and what do you think they would do to it to correct the problem?
- Makarov
PS - the only other thing I was considering was home smithing it and filing down one side of the forcing cone, thankfully I thought better of it.
