| After the first 20 rounds, the cylinder became harder and harder to open, all in the same range session. Now it won't open at all. Have only put 38's through her, maybe 49 rounds total. Anyone else have any issues with their night guard? |

If the ejector rod has come loose it is to far forward of where it should be and the center pin will not have enough throw to move the front bolt lock out of its way. (center pin is moved forward by the thumb piece)
To tighten the rod back you will have to get a hold of it with something (pliers ,ect.) and at the same time slightly pull back on the hammer so you can spin the cylinder clockwise until the ejector rod is tightened back up. You might need to get someone else to hold the hammer or spin the cylinder for you. (spin cylinder clockwise looking at the revolver from the rear). Oh ya, make sure there are no live rounds in the cylinder before you work on it! Archery nocking point pliers work great for grabbing the rod if you can get them around it. |
