I've been re-reading some old TFL posts about S&W revolver timing, but haven't quite found an answer to this question.
I have an S&W revolver that I thought had a timing problem. For one of the chambers, when the hammer is cocked slowly single-action, the cylinder does not rotate quite far enough to lock by the time the hammer reaches full cock.
The gun is still under warranty, so I shipped it to the factory service department for repair. I even used a piece of tape to mark the chamber whose timing was "off." S&W sent the gun back to me, saying that no repair was required. I checked it, and it still does the same thing.
Am I mistaken about the timing problem, or has the factory service department dropped the ball?
TIA.
