If the price is right and overall condition looks serviceable, then maybe yes, but I think there are 2 simple things that should be check. Verifying the revolver is empty, cock the hammer, finger off the trigger, then push forward on the hammer, hard with your thumb and I mean hard. If the hammer drops, this is a safety issue, maybe someone had done some home gunsmithing on it and the innards will require replacement parts fitted correctly. The second check is to again verify the revolver is empty, cock it, pull the trigger and keep the trigger depressed to the rear. Use the other hand to rock the cylinder back and forth, like trying to rotate. A very small amount of is acceptable, if it is excessive, the cylinder may not align with the forcing cone correctly during a normal firing. The result may be lead splatter back to your face and of course poor accuracy, or maybe worse.
