I bought an early model S&W 67 with the stainless sights. After about 3 cylinders of wadcutters the cylinder started binding. I looked and couldn't see anything that would cause this. So I cleaned it real well in Hoppes #9 and the problem seems to have disappeared. It seems like I recall some Smiths having a problem like this years ago. Can anyone shed some light on this? And Happy New Year!
