I recently traded for a very handsome S&W Model 19-3. After inspecting and cleaning it I noticed that the ejector rod was loose and would rotate vs. the cylinder. I hand tightened it down, but I suspect this will be an ongoing problem.
Is this something to put into a vise and tighten down? The piece seems basically unused. The blueing was still between the cylinder stop cuts for example.
I now know why people love those K-frames. Their size is just right.
