Since the barrel was adjustable, who ever had it before him adjusted it and apparently didnt know what they were doing. They left about a .030 cylinder gap. That thing had as big a fireball coming out the side as it did the barrel.

Since I already had one, and had the barrel adjustment tool and the .002 feeler guage that you use to set the gap, I simply unscrewed the barrel and reset it. It made a major difference and he thanked me a hundred times.

Three years later he sold it for less of a price than he paid...to me. I still have it. I bought that gun for 150 bucks and have won several matches with it. It is still one of my most accurate revolvers.
