end shake question

[jeffrey]

I have a model 19-3 that has a nice tight cylinder when moved side to side (after dry firing and keeping the trigger back) but has some end shake unless I have snap caps loaded in the cylinder. If there is no end shake with snap caps (or real rounds) loaded, does my gun have end shake?

Yes, end shake is measured with the cylinder empty.

And a little is normal especially in a gun that's been used. If you get good ignition and a good solid strike on your primer you're ok.
