I have asked about this in the past and want to get a clear(er) understanding.
A Colt Cobra is available for sale. I can't handle the gun so I am asking the seller questions. He reports that he has cocked the gun slowly about a dozen times and it did not fail to lock up (the "click" after cocking the gun when the cylinder doesn't fully lock in on a slow cocking maneuver ). He then said he cocked it really slowly about a dozen times and once it failed to lock in.
My question, can the gun be cocked so slowly trying to check out the timing that it doesn't click in because of the slowness of the cocking process? Or is this an indication that the timing needs attention?
This revolver has been cerakoted, durakoted, whatever and it looks like (in pictures) that there is pitting beneath the coating. This would be a carry/defensive gun and my concern is function.
As far as which generation, the gun has an exposed ejector rod. Has synthetic grips and the original (worn) wood grips
$365 price- I would appreciate any guidance you could offer
