Many people mistake a loose cylinder for the normal cylinder play while the gun is in the unfired position with the hammer at rest, the trigger forward.
With the gun in the fired position, the hammer having hit the firing pin and the trigger pulled back, the cylinder should be somewhat tighter and not have as much play. This is normal, to have more play in the unfired position and should not be corrected.
For a true "loose cylinder" with too much play or movement, you would have to replace the cylinder and yoke assembly and then fit the revolver with a new hand to time the action properly.
This requires skill and is not an amateur undertaking.

Can smith and Wesson model 27 fire plus p ammo?
Yes,a model 27 N frame revolver can handle +p ammo.I would advise you though that steady use of +p ammo will hasten the revolver becoming loose over time.Much quicker than if you used standard .357 Magnum loads.

Can a s and w airlite 38 special snub nose revolver from the 60s or 70s handle plus p cartridges?
I would refrain from attempting to fire +P loads in any Smith and Wesson revolver if it is not marked for such use.All that will be achieved is a fine made handgun shooting loose or worse with such ammo.little will be achieved by firing a more hotter load thru a 2-2 1/2inch barrel anyway.Stay with a good standard load,besides these standard loads are what made this fine cartridge such a legend in police work for nearly a century anyways.I shoot a handload of 158gr lead semi-wadcutters through my 2 revolvers,which are a smith and Wesson model 12 airweight witha 4in.barrel.I also have a colt official police with a 4in.barrel and both are excellent made revolvers of which I have fired hundreds of rounds through without them becoming loose.I keep the velocity down to around 800FPS,and they shoot to point of aim with there fixed sights.

Who made the first repeating rifle?
The first well-known, practical repeating rifle was introduced by Colt Firearms in 1855. It was essentially a Colt percussion revolver with a longer barrel and rifle stock. Although a repeater, each chamber of the cylinder had to be charged and primed separately, as in all percussion revolvers. Extra pre-loaded cylinders were carried in lieu of magazines or loose ammunition.The first practical magazine-fed repeating rifle was produced by the Volcanic Arms Company, formed in 1855 by Horace Smith and Daniel B. Wesson. Volcanic made a tube-fed, lever-action repeater that fired ammunition with the powder charge and primer in the base of the bullet itself. This type of ammunition was obviously limited by the volume of powder, but it was the first completely-enclosed, one piece ammo produced commercially.While the Volcanic Repeating Arms Company was short lived, its descendants, Smith & Wesson and Winchester Repeating Arms Company, became fairly well known.
What is the age of a 38 caliber Iver Johnson top break pistol serial number 7186 or T7186 and can modern ammunition be used in it?
This gun is chambered for .38 Smith & Wesson (called 38 S&W) NOT .38 Smith & Wesson Special (called 38 Special). If it is in good condition it should fire modern 38 S&W ammunition, which is loaded down to permit using it in older guns. If the gun is worn or loose, have it checked by a gunsmith before using it. The life you save may be your own.
Rossi revolver cylinder will not turn when the trigger is pulled?
When the trigger is pulled (or the hammer is pulled back), the HAND pushes against the STAR on the rear of the cylinder, causing the cylinder to rotate. The hand may be worn, the star may be worn, or the hand spring may be loose or broken, and is not moving the hand to the correct position. Any of the 3 are likely to require a gunsmith. In a few cases, dirt and carbon can build up on the star, causing the hand to slip. If a cleaning does not fix it, see a gunsmith.

Ignition Lock Cylinder is locked on?
The most common cause for this happening, is the retainer cap has come loose. On these types of ignitions, there are tumblers in the cylinder. On top of these tumblers are springs. Holding all in place is a metal retainer cap which is staked in place. when the stakes are wrongly placed, not deep enough, etc., the cap will come loose. when you insert your proper key, it allows the cylinder to turn to a spot in the housing that is larger than the cylinder. Once at this spot, the cap pushes away from the cylinder and locks it into place. Once this happens, it is best to call a reputable, licensed locksmith to replace the ignition cylinder.
