Finally able to pick up my model 14(-1?), Serial 28,6XX. Knew it had some bluing issues on the front shroud, and it needed a cleaning when I brought it home, but all looked well for the most part till I realy started going over it. When pulling the hammer back very slowly I noticed that the cylinder doesn't rotate 100% to lock into place, usualy requires just a nudge and you hear it click.. Would that require a new hand or how would this problem be remedied?

Pop the side plate off and make sure it's all clean and no dirt or grit is hanging it up. Make sure you screw the side plate down securely when you put it back together. If it still doesn't lock up, a new hand and a new extractor will fix it up.

Where is everyone getting parts for these, and would a -1 gun use the same parts as a -2?

Well an almost complete strip down (down have a barrel wrench yet to get the shroud off, and more importantly fix the HUGE gap), but thoroughly cleaned the internals which had some light gunk on them, and its 99% better. Double action its fixed, and standard cocking with the hammer works, but if i SLOWLY cock the hammer while lightly dragging my finger on the cylinder, it is just barely off. Close enough that I'm not worried to shoot it (once i get the cylinder gap closed up, my father has a 15-1 so I will borrow his wrench). But I will keep an eye out for a replacement hand (slight wear on the top it looks). Hopefully I can get that wrench and test it out next weekend.
