Of course ill be contacting the dealer but wanted another opoinion on what may cause this before I called them. Thanks

Are all the screws in the frame? The one closest to the muzzle holds the cylinder in.

Thanks, I did not even notice that that screw fell out, did find it on the floor put it back in now works good. Is this normal??? Should I still be concerned for the future? Thanks again.

Put it back in. Carefully tighten it. Check it when you shoot to see if it will be a problem. It shouldn't be.

Those screws rarely come loose on their own. Probably the previous owner had loosened it and didn't tighten it enough. Use the proper size screwdriver and really crank it down, and you should have no further problem. I don't recommend LocTite because you want to be able to remove the crane and cylinder for cleaning.
