Best way to fix this revolver?

Charter? I was told by them to stake it from the back, haven't tried it yet. In to see what you come up with.

Center punch the nipple is my vote as well.

I agree. Go from the other side inside the frame and peen the stud while backing the part up so it seats and swells to prevent movement.

This is your best option. I would use a dense nylon or hardwood for backing and dremel it out slightly to match the head of the stud to hold it in place so it doesn’t turn.

How tight / loose is it right now ?

Weld it

Knurled it, then put on loctite. Vinegar bathed the stud to get the bluing off, then clearcoated to prevent rust. Works like a charm.

I agree with the center punch method. If you can not do that, JB Weld will hold it forever if you clean both parts well.
