I always check the cylinder for lockup problems before I accept the transfer. So far, no problems.
I know of a local gun store that had a brand new Norwich 715 that had lockup issues. He sent it to DW and it was returned with having same issue. It didn’t get fixed. Since he was a gunsmith he said he was going to fix it himself. This guy was Bill Ogelsby (Ogelsby & Ogelsby Gunsmithing) and he knew Dan Wesson in the early 70s. Used to do stuff with him.

Yea my FFL is a gun smith he fixed a 44 magnum I had so he knows how to take a large frame apart. worst case I have him put a new spring in the gun I was just wondering how this seems to be a problem on a pretty high percent of large frame Dan Wessons. Never had a small frame do it. I noticed that when I cock the gun and put the hammer back then the cylinder will not move. As i said soaking it in hopps and WD-40 seems to make it better or will solve the problem sometimes. I was caught off guard when one of my 7445 First Issues did it. I thought it was only Palmer guns as the other 3 guns that it had done were Palmer large frame guns.
