re: My S&W 625 used to have repeated lockup from screws backing out. I finally solved the problem with loctite.

Weekly cleaning, oiling and tightening screws may be one of the reasons, I have never had a problem with any wheel gun I have owned. A lesson learned from an old instructor many years ago, who probably never heard of Loctite

Hard to say, I asked a gunsmith about it, he said it wasn’t uncommon and recommended the loctite.

I keep my guns very clean and lubricate per manufacturer instruction. I also had a crusty old instructor.

Maybe it is the stainless steel. I don’t ever remember having a similar problem with blued revolvers.
