I got a chance to shoot my snubby yesterday and it shoots great-except for shooting about 10" low at 20'. I did have problems with the spent caps catching on the frame and locking up the cylinder almost every shot. This morning I took a close look at the gun and found that the barrel/cylinder gap was almost nothing and the top of the barrel(at the forcing cone) was rubbing on the face of the cylinder. I filed the back of the barrel's wedge hole a little and now the b/c gap is much better and the gap is even. So now the only complaint I have is that loading with the hand rammer is work! If I decide that it's too much work would a full length barrel from an 1851 or 1861 navy fit without much effort or are they factory fitted? Thanks,
