Feb 27, 2023 at 12:53 comment added R. van Dobben de Bruyn That's right, I was just trying to say that your comment about the smooth case is not very relevant because the smooth case is trivial. I'm actually working out the very same example you're giving, because it also gives a counterexample to the question.
Feb 27, 2023 at 12:51 comment added Francesco Polizzi @R.vanDobbendeBruyn: but the OP is supposing $X$ normal Gorenstein, that is a bit less than regular (=smooth). For instance, it seems to me that the Weil divisor of a line in a quadric cone in $\mathbb{P}^3$ defines a rank 1 reflexive sheaf that is not locally free. Or am I missing something?
Feb 27, 2023 at 12:45 comment added R. van Dobben de Bruyn @FrancescoPolizzi if $X$ is regular, then any reflexive sheaf of rank $1$ is locally free (so then the answer to the question is positive).
Feb 27, 2023 at 12:41 comment added Francesco Polizzi Perhaps you already know this: if $X$ is smooth, a coherent sheaf $F$is locally free if and only if $$\mathcal{Ext}^i(F, \, G)=0$$ for all $\mathcal{O}_X$-module $G$ and for all $i \geq 1$.
