I unloaded my 2 1/2" Model 19-5 this morning (good thing) and was handling it and now the cylinder won't open. The latch moves fully forward and the little pin in the end of the ejector housing moves out a little when I push the latch forward, but the cylinder won't budge. I tried it on each chamber and by rotating the cylinder to a half-way point between 2 locking recesses. Only had this revolver for a few months and it has always been a little difficult to open. I suspect it's the ejector rod pin at the back of the cylinder. I was going to open up the side plate (I've done this on several others). Any ideas!
oh yea, it will still dry fire just fine.
