I had one that would do that. I had a couple of revolvers do that actually, but one was a Ruger Speed-Six.
I sent the Speed-Six back to the factory. It was brand new so I went ahead, packed it up, the dealer shipped it off, and I got it back in a week or so. It was a long time ago, but IIRC the letter I got back said they adjusted the barrel cylinder gap. I never had a problem after that.
The second one, was an old Colt Official Police. What I found with that was the forcing cone was dirty and had a buildup of lead on the ends of the barrel. I gave the forcing cone and cylinder face a good cleaning with Hoppes and a cloth. It doesn't take much lead/fouling to shrink that gap down. I never had a problem with the Colt again either, but I didn't shoot it a lot. It would however go through a couple of boxes of ammo afterward, where before it wouldn't get through one.
I'd try giving it a good cleaning first before I got too worried about it.
