Hello everyone,
I just recently bought a Colt New Service mfg 1938.

I shot it today and noticed that I was receiving some off center primer strikes. I was told that the timing could be off. Also the grips were slightly loose from what I believe is the wrong screw holding the grips.

Does anyone know where to find the grip screw and also is the diagnosis of the timing issue correct?

Thank you

With the trigger held back in the fired position does the cylinder feel tight or does it have a rotational wobble?
Any evidence of spraying out of the side of the Barrel/cylinder gap?
Pictures of the fired cases still in the cylinder of course would help.

I did not see any evidence of lead being shaved off. The cylinder has the same, almost none, wobble as my modern revolvers.
