So I'm thinking that the gun should be clamped to the range bench to test it properly but I don't want to buy a specialist clamp (if they are available) just to use once. Any suggestions?
I only know from reading - but this is what happens, apparently, when the rifling is worn out. How much use has the pistol had? Or maybe slightly smaller dia bullets not grabbing the rifling? Apparently some people slug their barrels to find out exactly what the smallest diameter of the barrel is (in thous) and then try to find ammo 1 thou larger. One reason given is that this is why you have to try all sorts of ammo with your .22; you just need ammo with the right fit. Either way if it was me I'd give it a really good clean and have a look down the barrel.
