Did you "look" to see if you have bent crane? The smaller revolvers are often abused by ignorant shooters who "flip" the cylinder closed. I bought a used Colt Detective that had a bent crane and missed it when I examined the gun. I sent the revolver to the factory to be repaired and it is good as new.
Tomorrow I hope to try a different brand of ammo. The problem occurs when 3 or more rounds are loaded. 1 or 2 rounds it works good. I don't think the crane is bent. I purchased this gun in 1970, have never flipped it closed, its never been dropped or damaged in anyway and the problem just occurred this week.
