I'm kind of new to revolvers (I have only one recently bought)
I sent an e-mail to Buffalo Bore Customer Service to ask about how safe is their non +P ammo in my old S&W 29-2 and this is the answer I received:
Yes it is safe to shoot our non +P ammo in your S&W. However, even SAAMI
spec ammo will loosen older model 29's if you shoot a bunch of it. So, use
it sparingly. By the way, loosening your older gun is far from the end of
the world. I've done it with many older 29's and it costs about $125.00 to
have them rebuilt and tightened up better than when they were new.

So what exactly means a revolver that get "loosen up"??
What is exactly the fix that this guy suggests if you revolver get "loose"???
I heard other terms like cylinder lock up or tied-up...what exactly means and why it happen???.....and how you fix it??
Thanks for your patience and your answers!!!
