Have a 1976 Security six that binded and cylinder was hot after shooting cylinder or two of .38 special. Wondering the easiest fix if I'm not exactly comfortable even with how simple these guns are to take apart. Send to a Ruger gunsmith? There a S&W factory armorer gunsmith about 2 hours from me.
Security Six binding cylinder after shooting

Rub a finger over your primers. Are they protruding?
The cylinder was hot?
Nothing a standard 38 SP can do to damage Sec 6. I agree with the previous posts about crud under the star or protruding primers and add primers backing out upon firing.

You might also check if ejector rod has loosened causing the binding.
Disassemble the Crane and cylinder completely and try cleaning it.
