Hey all,

Recently one of the parts was sheared off on one of my revolvers. It's the little thing connected to the trigger that locks the cylinder in alignment. I doubt I'll be able to find a replacement so I was wondering if any of the great minds around here had any advice on how to fix/re-make it.

Since it's a relatively high-stress part, it just snaps off when repaired using superglue or metal epoxy. I'm wondering if it's possible to weld something so small, and I've also been considering getting a new one made by someone like ProG4, but I have no idea where to start with that or how much it would cost.

Anyone?

Thanks!
That cylinder latch is off of a S&W style revolver, no?
It's actually very similar to the real one; if you can get some measurements I can take a look and see how close it is to a real S&W part.
Yes, it's the latch from an S&W N-frame. I see what you mean about the RS parts, they're available for pretty cheap and they look almost exactly the same. Even if they're not a drop-in fit some dremel work should solve that.

The curvy part is about 2.4mm wide, the base is about 7.1mm wide and 8.5mm tall. Thanks!
I will check those measurements against a real one at work on monday and let you know.
Did you check? Thanks again.
