Just had to order another Hi-Grip for my pending model 10. Showed the Barami to a buddy with a model 15 to try out and got cash back instead the stocks.

Picked up mine today. Here’s a picture with its siblings:
It looks like it is in pretty good shape. However,the cylinder seems to be a bit stiff.
I’m still newish to revolvers so I have a few questions:
- What would be a few basic steps I should take to inspect this revolver or any used revolver?
- Aside from this forum of course, what resources have you found (Books, articles, etc.) have you found helpful?
- Any recommendations for helping the cylinder move more freely?
Thanks to @Wayne Dobbs and @Dagga Boy for introducing/enabling me into the revolver world.

PM/call/email me on that slow cylinder and I'll tell you what it usually is and how to fix it.

I've never heard of either, what are Hi Grips? Or did you mean the hip grips with the built in belt clip?
Typo, Hip-Grips:

I plan to bob the hammer, mount a Hip-Grip over an old Pahmayr grip adapter, pick up a leather thumb-break OWB, and have an old-fashioned setup that can double as a possible loaner.
Kinda the direction i went with a m64 i have
I hate every last one of you. Had to go get a copy of my guy's FFL to scan and send the seller. While there, I noticed a Ruger LCP II Lite Rack in 22 Long Rifle which was one of the first two he got in. One is now on layaway. He also has a 4" pre-lock S&W model 586 with square butt and 4" barrel for under seven bills. So very close to calling, having him set it aside for me as well, and finish paying it off with Trump Bucks whenevrr they roll in. Good deal on an old K-frame up until I have to set my impulsive foot in a fun dealer and then the hidden costs pop up.
Someone remind me my wife will ask why I went to get the ball rolling on one gun and wound up with three. Because the two for sure right now is bad enough.
Yep. My i had the hammer bobbed on my model 13 and am awaiting a T-grip now.Kinda the direction i went with a m64 i have
Just got a shipping notice.
Wish i would have got one of these!
