I was looking at my spent cases and I saw that 1 out of every 5 rounds was struck off center, not by much but enough to notice it. I check the lock up and noticed that on 1-2 cylinders it was a hair loose. Not a lot loose but the other cylinders all have the welded feel and zero movement, these ones move slightly as if you can turn the cylinder just a smidge. I stuck a pen down the bbl at each end of that "rotation" and wasn't able to feel any misalignment so it is small if it's not just all in my head.
Any idea what happened? It shot accurately, I am just curious why some strikes were off center and if that is an issue? Is there a way to take apart the revolver and replace a washer or what-have-you to straighten out any looseness? Do I even need to worry about any of this? The gun has thousands of rounds of .357 through it (I don't think I've shot more than 100 .38's out of it) but it has yet to complain.
Thanks.
