Ruger Toklat cylinder play

[Deaf Smith]

I have a Ruger Toklat .454 and the cylinder very slightly can be rocked a bit at full cock.

Yes, I know a slight amount of play in the cylinder is ok but I'm a purist. I prefer zero-zero lockup on my revolvers. So, would a new cylinder latch or paw/hand tighten the cylinder play?

And does the GP100 use the same cylinder latch and/or paw(hand?)

Thanks,

I see a set of shims in your future. I would shoot it a bit to reach maximum "looseness" and then shim.

You need to check cylinder play with the trigger pulled and held down.

That is when and how the gun will fire, not when the hammer is cocked back.

Well I did that last night guys. 3 chambers are ok, two have just a tiny play with the cylinder rocking to each side as the cylinder is turned.

No, no end shake, nor crane shake, just cylinder play.

I think, but not sure, Ruger GP100 hand a cylinder stop are the same as the Ruger Super Redhawk.
