I just acquired a Traditions 357 SA revolver. When I cock the hammer, the cylinder advances and positions itself correctly with about a 1/8" of play when I wobble the cylinder. However, when the hammer is down(not cocked), I can move the cylinder about a 1/2", almost to the next firing position. In other words, the cylinder isn't locking.
Does anyone have a idea of what might be causing this? Definitely have to fix this, but I'd like a little knowledge about the issue before I take it to someone for repair.
Thank for the advice.
