Ok here is my “amateurish shooter” question for the month.
At the range the other day I started shooting .38’s and had two rounds of factory ammo not fire, so then I move to .357’s and after shooting them the cylinder would not release from the gun. I had to bang it pretty good to open it. Then after reloading the cylinder it would not go back into the frame. So I put the gun down relaxed and tried again, this time it closed up and fired the rest of the magnums fine.
So anyways what would cause the cylinder not to open and/or close?
And
If two out of fifty rounds do not fire should I just tack this up to a couple bad rounds or a possible problem with the firing pin?
The gun is a S&W 620 and only about 6 months old and has never given me any problems.
