Recently bought a model 15-2 with 4" and 8' barrels. Revolver had never been fired. Just noticed that the cylinder release latch is not straight. The top of the latch slants toward the front of the gun just a bit. Any suggestions on how to adjust it? Thanks, I'm new....

Does it lock up ok? If so, it's fine, if not others may have answers.

to the nuthouse. The cylinder latch spring is installed in a sort of horseshoe fashion so if you remove it and clean/adjust the position a little it may correct your slant. I can't say for sure but it is easy enough to try. A tiny Allen wrench is all that is needed IIRC.

Actually, I think it's a very small slotted screw. It's very simple to remove and clean out the pocket that the spring rides in. Since the spring is actually bent into a "U" or horseshoe shape, it's likely that the spring is broken.
I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.
