I have two older K frames- Model 19 and Model 10 that were purchased used as inexpensive shooters some years ago. I shoot them with mild wadcutters and semi-wadcutter reloads for target practice. They have just a little bit of endshake and cylinder movement with the hammer down in full lock up. I have newer model 10's that lock up tight as a bank vault.

Both guns will shoot a cleaver leaf type hole with all six rounds touching at 15 yards. Should I leave them alone or have a gunsmith tighten things up a bit? I try to maintain and take good care of the older Smiths so they will last a long time.

They probably get shot a good 50 rounds or so each month.
