Got the new 4" GP in .22 last week and have put a few hundred rounds through it so far. It has had one FTF and that was ammo as I rotated the round and hit it in 3 different areas. I'm getting a bit worried though that the firing pin is coming out too far and damaging the cylinder.
Here is a picture of when the cylinder was new.
And here is a picture now.
There is an obvious firing pin mark at the top of each chamber. What are your thoughts? It's been dry fired less than 5-6 times, plus it's supposed to be safe to dry fire. I really want to shoot it this weekend at my clubs plate match, but don't want to damage it. I really would like to keep this cylinder as the machining on the ratchet looks to be very nice even under magnification. May have to file the ejector a bit though as you can see little curls at the points.
What are your opinions?
