loose cylinder on R73
« on: September 19, 2011, 11:19:00 AM »
I went gun shopping a few days ago and looked at a R73 they had there. The gun was flat unsafe! I have never seen a revolver with a cylinder that flopped around as bad as it did. The hole in the frame where the rear of the center pin snaps into was almost worn into the slot for the hand. This made me worry about my R73. I have plans of practicing alot and carring it. Has this gun been abused or do they wear out quickly? I have other H&R revolvers with many thousands of rounds thru them with no noticable wear so i dont know what to think.
