    Model 19 problems. Cylinder drag

    Guys, I have a nice old snubby model 19. It has developed a problem where, if I dry fire it (or live fire it) it will turn fine for two or three shots. Then the trigger pull will get heavier and heavier for a few shots. Then it clears up. What is up?

    Great deal on SWAT PDFs

    I just downloaded all the 2005 issues of SWAT in one $26.99 package of the website. That really is a great deal. I didn't really look at SWAT back then because, hell, I don't know why. I can't recommend it highly enough. What a steal. Beats reading them all in the grubby pile at the gun range!:D
