That may be an end shake issue, cylinder / forcing cone gap, with the problem by exacerbated by the gun heating up, it's hard to say without seeing it. But the OPs problem was a bent rod, as confirmed by ruger.

Tight chambers are a common problem on the 617, I honed and polished my chambers out a tad, but keeping a 22 revolver clean is important, most .22 is filthy. As far as cylinders being tight on a few chambers and not the others is actually a tell tale sign of a bent rod. Think about it, if the rod is bent a bit it'll turn like an oval on the end instead of true, once it gets to the bent side it's going to tighten up on the crane lock or rub against the ejector rod shroud.

Fussy Smussy. When you really get into dedicated revolver guys, triggers sort of become like grips, you start to get a feel for what you like, and want uniformity across the board. Everybody will prefer different things These days, I put .400 wide smooth triggers in all my competition revolvers - I just like the feel of them. That being said though, there are plenty of guys out there that will do the same with Ribbed / Serrated triggers, I just dont personally enjoy them. If you get a gun that has it and do not like them, you could always take a dremel sanding wheel and take off the ribs and make them smooth. FYI on what triggers you'll see these days typically ( from what i've seen ) Performance Center guns - .312 wide smooth, or .312 ribbed Pro Series - .400 smooth Older " Target " variants had .500 wide triggers, typically ribbed , but ive seen some smooth too.

My powder usually doesn't last that long

special badge? 10 feet from berm only? no drawing from holster? ....shoulda joined old bridge.

I'm a bit of a revolver trigger snob, but dont look at any (newer) *FACTORY* smith and wesson and base your decision on which trigger may be better. Out of the box, they are all utter crap ( speaking double action here ) Heavy, gritty, and hard, I dont care if it's pro series, or performance center. Buy whatever variant is cheaper, and spend the extra saved cash on getting somebody to smooth the trigger up for you. It'll make worlds difference over anything that comes out of the factory.

The JM grips are horrible IMO, they are like a slim slippery banana, toss them and buy a nice set of houges, or whatever else floats you're boat. The 986/929 9mm revolvers are still fresh to the market, and not readily available. I personally do not have any experience with them, But my opinion on them is that they are a good buy for somebody who wants to get into the revolver game with consolidating calibers , or doesn't reload. The 929 is interesting because it already has the 6.5" barrel and titanium cylinder, You couldnt build a custom 627 to those specs for that price. For somebody like me whose main caliber is already .38 , it really doesnt make sense for me to switch over to the 9mm series.

Have you narrowed down to it's purpose? Range toy? Competition? Home Defense? How about caliber? Sticking with 38/357 ? S&W 627 - 8 shots of 38/357 goodness S&W 625 - moonclipped 6 shot .45 acp S&W 929/986 - 9mm , either 7 shot L frame or 8 Shot N Frame S&W 327 - a few variants, but it's a light weight scandium frame 8 shot

Maybe, I'll see how I feel in the morning when I get out of work. Thanks Mike. (You have enough shotgun shells for 2? Or should I stop in the morning if I decide to go.

gonna sit this one out, have fun boys.

What constitutes a stout target load? I figure i'd just go to Dicks sporting goods and get whatever was cheapest.

You got extra junk for me to use ?

Oh , word , so I can shoot it pistol only ? Maybe futey borrow me his shot gun

Please don't make me Google that shit.

.358

Yah, prison

Is this going to turn into an argument for production pistol optic USPSA division? If so...

Revo Friendly? out.

Yes, i've had it for about 3 years now, no issues with the plastic chute giving me any issues at all. the " joy stick" for directing the chute is great and works really well

Happy with my Toro powermax

I can certaintly understand the strong feelings for it, but I can also see how it can be taken in poor taste. God bless the USA , followed directly by God ( allah ) can go to hell.

I thought you couldn't even legally ship primers unless you are a certified hazardous material shipper.

check for "run out " like he explains in the video.

This does a more gooder job of explaining
