I'm relatively new to revolvers. I've got two model 18's, two model 15's, and now two model 19's.
The first model 19 (I got it a couple months ago) is very "stiff" to open. I push the latch forward, and have to give a significant push on the cylinder to get it open. The second model 19 (yesterday's gun show!) opened and closed smoothly at show, opened and closed smoothly at range this morning (where it was practically a one holer at 10 yards with Fed GM 148 gr wcs!), but got seriously stiff when I started cleaning it.
All my others open smoothly and easily.
Am I doing something wrong? Did I screw something up?
Thanks in advance for the diagnosis!
