I have a US Model 1901 stamped Colt 1892. While it shoots very nice in SA mode, it seems to push the cylinder out of alignment in DA mode, allowing only about 4 of the 6 positions to fire. The weak cylinder lock seems to be a known problem on that series, is there a fix?

As I get older I find hitting a mini ram at 200 yards with the 22 oddly more satisfying.
