So I have a great looking Colt Offical Police in .38 Spl made in 1937. The pistol would not fuction properly. So I took it to a local smith who screwed it up even worse. Gun smith stated that the pawl that locks the cylinder in place was worn out even though the rest of the parts had almost zero wear.I get it back and the cylinder will not turn and he lost one of the screws. Needlees to say he will never touch another one of my guns.So does anyone know of a good smith that will work on Colts?.

Thanks for looking
