I've only shot once at a pile of trash. I was able to hit a small scrap of metal from like 15 yards after like 2 tries. I want to shoot it at an actual target to see how it performs
Then it doesn't matter what is going on with your barrel or slide or frame.
How a gun performs only matters if it is used. Anything else is just your autism taking the wheel, and not the good kind of autism that lands remote control golf cars on the moon, the bad kind.
It's pretty damned common on revolvers for the barrel to not quite be clocked/indexed properly to the frame.
Yours isn't off enough to worry about, with the kind of accuracy you can expect from iron sights on a pistol this won't affect your accuracy at all. You should start to worry if the barrel is loose enough that you can unscrew it by hand.
>You should start to worry if the barrel is loose enough that you can unscrew it by hand.
It's a Dan Wesson. If the barrel is loose you tighten it with the included wrench. They're designed so the end user can swap barrels. It's also virtually impossible for the barrel to be canted due to how the barrel and shroud fit together.
that is what's called in the profession as the 'south paw canter'.
this will happen when a left handed person fires a new weapon for lengths of time. it's not damaged but just accustomed to the shooters grip.

I think this is explained by those cuts on the frame being uneven, not the barrel
Frick, how do I tell which it is?
Looks straight to me.
Hold a straightedge, such as a ruler, along the barrel and the frame.
Does it shoot straight?

I think its the cuts on the barrel. Take a photo muzzle end facing the camera
Like this, or with the muzzle pointed right at the camera?
anon, do you own a ruler?
Pointed at yourself, preferably.

I bought it second hand at an LGS. It didn't come any extra barrels or tools
So I assume you've got the barrel wrench and cylinder gap gage on order?
No, broke ATMA

Shut the frick up; it's unloaded.
If it shoots straight just accept it.
DO NOT check all your guns if they're straight, you will drive yourself insane.
