A gunsmith can help you. I was just reading about it in Pistolsmithing by George C. Nonte, Jr.

That depends. What exactly is off?
Does the action bind before the hammer reaches full cock, or the trigger the rear most of its travel? Or does the trigger reach rear travel or hammer full cock and the cylinder isn't locked into place yet? Or, does trigger reach rear travel or hammer full cock, and the cylinder is actually past lined up with the bore? Or, is the action binding at the beginning of trigger travel because the cylinder doesn't want to rotate? Each of these has a different answer. If you are not rather quite familiar with how a double action revolver works, it is just as easy to screw it up worse as it is to fix it. |

How do you know the timing's off? That simply what Gunfixr's asking. Based on your reply, I'd agree that it'd be wise to have a gunsmith take a look-see.

A shipping label And it IS on its way to Springfield, Mass. T'he gunsmith Díd not want to mess with it. It is under warranty. |

Good choice. As long as any product is under warranty, it is better to use the warranty service.

Sorry. But timing is a bit complicated.
Since it is under warranty, that is the best option, and what I tell my customers. Once the gunsmith works on it, unless he is a factory warranty station, the warranty is blown. Plus, why pay to get it fixed when you can get it fixed for free? |

Since it's under warranty....
Glad it's going to S&W.
Don't write "timing is off." Write down specifically what is off with the timing. It will help the S&W tech to correct it.
