Another gentleman was examining an OM .357 Blackhawk that I was selling and he said that my pistol has a worn hand (he called it the cylinder pawl) and that it was so worn that it made it hard to install the cylinder. I have a photo he sent me of the supposedly worn hand but it doesn't look obviously problematic to me. Why would a worn hand cause a problem with reinstalling the cylinder? I would think the opposite. I have owned this OM for nearly 10 years, but never fired it. It is NOT a pristine example. It is very smooth in rotation and I did notice that when the cylinder is spun, it barely "clicks" at all.
How does this sound to you? Is this something that is known about Blackhawks? I've never heard of it before, but my revolver collecting is more toward S&W revovlers and my Rugers are shooters. Any thoughts are welcome.
