This is probably just an education lesson.
I love the looks of this one but the cylinder looks misaligned. (See pic #4)
I've never seen that before.

The seller says "The timing is perfect and the lockup is great. The cylinder looks like it is hanging to the left a little because of the cylinder release latch. It is like an optical illusion. The cylinder stop latch engages the cylinder, so it is perfectly in line with the barrel. There is only a very slight movement in the cylinder during lockup. It is better than some of the S&W revolvers that we have gotten in new."
I don't understand how it could fire like this. It looks like something is seriously out of alignment.
Thanks in advance.

The cylinder may not have been latched when the photo was taken? Just a guess. It does look odd The next pic (top view) looks good.

I agree, they probably just didn't get it all the way closed & latched before they took some of those pics.

Thanks guys. I hadn't thought of the possibility that it wasn't fully closed. The seller has a lot of feedback and it is overwhelmingly good. Pic #5 does look better.
I do like the looks of that gun. I don't know. There is just something about the smaller, darker wood handle, the dark blue, the 6" barrel with the exposed nut. It certainly wouldn't be a practical purchase, but I could give that one a very good home.

95, are you in on this one? It needs a new in home Kansas! I am watching it intently and may jump in as the time runs low! D_ Kansas gb user name!
It looked strange from here to. I think it is all jacked up and you should run away as fast you can!!!

Dave,
Go for it if you want it. I really should get something I can hunt with. I'm kicking myself because yesterday I got too busy and forgot to check this one.

I thought it would go for a lot more than it did. I'm watching the other two 357 SuperMags as well. My wife's not going to be happy
so I figure I've only got one gun purchase 
I can make in the next year.

Dave,
I forgot, my gb name is 95XL883. Definitely go for it if you want it. If you get it, maybe I can come and visit it this summer.

Someone got a good deal on that. 357 SM for $616 on GB is real good.
