[QUOTE="mtngunr, post: 4329878, member: 46104"] I pondered that, as well, and will point out another possibility....the old standard way of correcting windage on fixed sight revolvers both at factory regulation (back when that was done) and by gunsmiths, was to clamp both frame and barrel in fitted fixtures and to turn the barrel. The turning is very minor to make significant changes to windage, such as if you made a scribe line from barrel onto frame, a major correction done by moving the barrel half the width of the scribe line. If the whacking were happening with a kitchen nightstick out near/on front ramp or rib, the barrel might have turned a half a hair. [/QUOTE]
