What does the term "end shake" mean.
I sent my Colt Officers model to Cylinder and Slide to get it repaired. That was February of 2009. It would not index, i.e. the cylinder would not revolve. Got a telephone call from them in January of 2010, and they told me the basic problem had been repaired. The hand was found to be worn out and had been welded and recut. The cylinder would now revolve and the "timing" was perfect. They also told me my pistol had excessive "end shake" that should be corrected.
Had no idea what they were talking about. Was ashamed to tell them I had no idea of what they were talking about. I told them if it was necessary to get the pistol to shoot correctly, go ahead and do the work.
What did I buy? What is end shake?
Thanks,
Jerry
