I understand how a revolver can go out of time through wear of the hand, etc. But why would a new gun be out of time? And how would it be fixed in that case? I've got a new N frame that is slightly out of time on a couple of chambers. Is there something about the very heavy cylinders on these guns that makes timing more difficult to achieve and maintain? (The timing is textbook perfect on my 617 K frame.)
I also wonder how far out of time is too far. If the problem is only apparent when the hammer is pulled back very slowly, and then only a tiny nudge is required to latch the cylinder, does that really matter?
