I've never had the problem of the cylinder binding. The only problem I've had was misfires in double action mode. Sent it back to Smith & Wesson. Then I ran 500 rounds of several different brands of ammo through it with 1 misfire double action. I guess I can live with that since it was a cheapo Remington Thunderbolt that misfired.
One issue with a S&W 617
I have lusted for one of these for a while, and finally got one. It shoots good, but it has one problem unfired rounds are backing out and binding cylinder rotation. Anyone else had this problem. One thing I really like about it is it will shoot that 60gr. Aguila sub sonic load without keyholing. I want to use this for quiet pest elimination.
