I had Law Weapons in Naperville do some trigger work on my S&W Victory Model 10. Very happy with the work and at a fair price.

I would give S&W a call and just send it back to them and get a like new gun back
That's a good idea

I know that Smith & Wesson will no longer work on some of the older revolvers. But taking apart an S&W from that vintage is pretty simple. The slop in the lockup can be the result of worn locking notches or the bolt not rising sufficiently. If the notches are worn, a new cylinder would probably be needed. If the bolt isn't rising properly, it's most likely due to built up crud in the lockwork. The cylinder release issue could also be the result of internal crud but most often it's the result of a loose ejector rod. Check to see if it's loose.

Internal crud is my guess. I took off the thumbpiece and cleaned out a ton of sludge.
If you'd like some help, I'd be glad to show you how to remove the sideplate & internals to give it a good cleaning.

Glen Nyenhuis - WCK Gunsmithing - Elmwood Park - 708 452 1315 is another frequently posted.
Yep, call Glenn. Most if not all of the local cowboy action shooters go to him for revolvers.
He did work on two of my revolvers, basically doing a tuning and action job and they're amazing now. I don't trust anyone else to touch my guns. I've seen guns that customers dropped off to him that came directly from another gunsmith and Glenn had to fix their screwups.
He's worked on probably half of the guns I own, and I own a lot.
