    Had a mishap with my 38

    Me and dad took our handguns out side and were going to go practicing up until--

    I get my wheel gun out of the jeep and noticed dad already loaded my chambers with the bullets I didn't want to waist; but when I pushed the release the wheel wouldn't open and it was getting ready to storm on us. We decided to come in when I told my dad the gun was jammed both of us couldn't open the revolver so I ended up firing all 5 rounds into a stump and then like magic it worked again, mysteriously.

    What just happened and what should I do if this happens again without live ammo?

    I have one where the cylinder lock doesn't fully disengage and it's a bitch opening the cylinder. Then, it won't shut easily when I try to shut it. I don't bother loading it anymore until I get it looked at by a gunsmith.

    I'm guessing yours has something to do with the cylinder lock not fully disengaging when you push it. I'd take it to a gunsmith and let him look at it.
