Recently acquired the described gun. 7.5" barrel in 357 mag
However it shoots about 2" left at 7 - 10 yards. As you know the sights are a simple blade on the front that is part of the barrel. Somewhere I read that in the case of these type guns you turn the barrel in the frame slightly by taking the cylinder out, putting the barrel in a vice and twisting on the frame
1) that sounds like a recipe for disaster
2) will that not make the barrel loose?
3) does that not change the gap between the bore and the cylinder?
No way am I taking this gun to my workshop and trying this. Is there another alternative that I am overlooking?
