I have a Colt police positive .32-20 (circa 1925). Problem is that during cycling the cylinder hand appears to slip towards the outside of the ratchet binding the cylinder just before it can properly index. The gun is otherwise sound. With sideplate removed the hand can be held in place and will cycle normally. To my untrained eye this doesn't appear to be a particularly difficult repair and I'm asking for someone to share the correct method to do so.
Thank you.
