I'm kinda new to revolvers, and just picked up a used S&W 29-3. It appears to have been fired very little, although I'm concerned by the pattern of scoring around the cylinder by the cylinder stop. The trailing edge of the cylinder "detent" is a bit eroded on each chamber- it looks as though the cylinder is turning before the cylinder stop can get out of the way, but I can't seem to observe this phenomenon when I cock the hammer. I know it's hard to diagnose a problem without seeing the piece, but I'd love some advice regarding this "problem". Is this just normal wear? Also, the trigger "sticks" a little bit when I release the tension after firing it. Did I buy a dud? Thanks in advance for your help.
