Hey guys, I've got a Colt DA-38 - like this:
What should I check to insure it's safe to shoot? I know it shoots .38 long colts and they might be interesting to try to find. I've got an ancient box of them but ???. How much slop should the cylinder should have? That's the only part of the mechanism that seems loose but I've not shot a revolver before. I really don't want chunks of lead flying sideways when I shoot it.
I know they are considered fragile - maybe I've just got a wall-hanger.
