This could be your problem, not sure. I was too cheap to buy the expensive moon clips. Larry

It's not an ammo/moonclip matching problem. I used both Revolver Supply Co (good) and TK Customs (the best) and both had this issue. The rounds freeze going into the cylinder even if they're sloppy-loose in the clip because at least one catches on the charge hole's lip. Perversely, the rock solid TK's are almost worse since they're so rigid.
I got to compare this gun to several other 627's since I compete in ICORE. Most had a little bit of the cylinder peeking past the ejector, which is fine, but none had a mismatch this severe.
It's been back at Smith for two days now and I'm still waiting on the email saying it's been taken in.
