I don't think the problem comes from the action, because the problem should be on every chambers in this case I guess.

Actually, I have seen several Victory model guns that were virtually brand new that had timing issues. S&W was producing guns so fast they did have some quality problems. Charles Pate says in his book that the US Navy actually reached a point where they refused to receive any more guns till quality was improved! I believe that was in 1943, may have been 44.
You may need to replace the hand.
