Hi:
I took delivery of a Palmer 722 revolver sans barrel. I ordered a matching 22 ca six inch s/s VH barrel and shroud from DW. It turns out the replacement shroud has only one pin while the Palmer frame has two. Do I 1) remove the extra pilot pin or 2) leave it in and send the replacement barrel back to the factory to exchange it for something with 2 holes to match the 2 pins on the frame?
Also, my revolver works only on SA, not DA. I read something previously that the grip screw might be interfering with the works. Please let me know how to go about correcting these issues before I send this Palmer gun back to the factory.

Can you post a couple pictures here? I could be wrong but I don't think this issue has ever come up before. The frame should have only 1 locating pin.

Nope, a few models have two pins in the frame. You can just yank out the one that does not match--
We'll need pics and a serial number for your 22, you may have a SA only model.
I'll see if i can dig up the dual pin info.

My 722 Silhouette is single action only and has two pins. Maybe that model is the two pin / SA gun?

Yea I would just pull the top pin. Only a few 22 and 41 models had two pins that I have seen. You probably have a SAO gun as they were Palmer built. Just take off the grip and if it still is SAO that is what you have. I suppose it might just be messed up internally but SAO is more likely. Pics and serial # would help identify it. An inspection with the side plate off will tell you for sure. If you are a stickler for originality a SAO gun should have come with a ram on the barrel shroud. As far as I know all the SAO 22s had it. Others may have more and better info.

Good chance, since the barrel/shroud was not with the gun, that it is a Silhouette gun that had it's B/A sold or swapped out.
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.

Am I missing something? Try loosening the grip screw and see if DA starts working. If it doesn't, then it may very well be a Silhouette gun. Anyway, pics, please, pics?

What you are missing or actually confusing is the grip screw problem normally prevents the DW from working SA and works DA only. A Silhoutte gun only works in SA only and not DA. At least I think I got that right. Now I'm

It might be an SAO gun. SN is 22S001165. It is a Palmer gun and it does have two locating pins vice one. It looks like the two sideplate hex screws got buggered up slightly. I suspect another former owner had the same questions and wanted to check it out his/her self. I'll have to look around for a camera. In the meantime, I may have to remove the second non-conforming pin since the new barrel only has one.

Another interesting DW anomaly. I thought it was only the 41/741 that had 2 locating pins. My Monson 741 has the 2 pins, but my Monson 722's have single pins.
Who knew?
