I've got a old H&R 38 S&W. I had my gunsmith check it to see if it was in shooting condition. It was loose as a goose.The contrasting colors definitely serve to accentuate the giant tolerances between the parts and poor grip fitment lol.
I got to handle an old-school Charter Arms .38 this week, and the amount of rotational play in the cylinder when it was "locked up" was absolutely terrifying!
He said it was made between 1903 and 1909.
He said they were made like that and enjoy shooting it. I shot it a few times it's alright.
It sits in the safe coated with lubricant.
I'll see if I have any pictures of it.
Edit: picture
