Hey guys, I recently purchased a Cimarron Type II Richards conversion. I'm very happy with the pistol so far but I wanted to ask those of you who own one a few questions. I'm not sure if there is a problem or not. I've fired 50 rounds through this no problem. In the last day or so, I've noticed what I think might be a problem. When I initially had the pistol, it seemed to have three hammer positions, the first allowed the cylinder to rotate for loading, the second seemed to be a safety half cock, and the third was full cock. It now appears to only have two settings, the initial loading half cock and full cock. Also, when on full cock, the cylinder can still rotate clockwise. I can't remember if it did that before or not.
So essentially, what did I do wrong? Do I not have the cylinder tight enough (ie do I need to play with the wedge some more)? Is the gun only supposed to have two positions and I've just worn down a burr that gave the impression of three positions? Essentially, am I looking at a broken revolver now or am I just noticing things that were there all along and are actually correct?
Edit: It does seem like something is wrong, because now when I pull the trigger to fire, the cylinder starts to rotate counter-clockwise. Is this something I can fix or should I send it back to Cimarron?
