Hey all, this will be my first post, but i"ve been browsing the forum for a bit and you all seem like a really knowledgeable group of guys.
To cut a long story short, I got hold on an old Rohm RG40 6 shot .38 snubbie for $35. This is my first and only handgun (I mean I could put a pistol grip on my Pardner pump 12ga. but that hardly counts ;) ), and will be my glove box gun until I can get my CWP in a couple of years. The gun is in decent condition, doesn't blow up when you shoot it, and in fact is about as close to a tack driver as a snub revolver can be. The issue I'm having is that frequently the trigger will not reset fully after it is pulled. It will go almost back into battery but catches on the last little click before it does. Usually you can just pull the trigger again and it will reset, but sometimes this does not work and you have to pull the hammer back slightly to get it to reset. I'm guessing this can be fixed with just a little filing/polishing, but I'm not sure exactly which area on the trigger/ hammer needs the work and I would like to get a better idea of this before I take the gun apart again.
I am aware that RG's are junk, but this particular one seems to be a good fluke, with just this one small issue that I fell needs to be fixed before I can fully depend on it as a life saving tool (At least until I get a better gun).
