I picked up a used Arminius 44 mag recently. When I took it out back and fired a few rounds through it I was getting 2/6 light hammer strikes and fail to fire. Send them around again and fired off fine. I tore the gun down to check the main spring and give it a good cleaning and oiling. Checked end shake etc. No issues found.
I put it back together and played around with it and found I could repeat the issue. If I pull the trigger real slow the hammer releases from full cocked position but catches/drags on the half cocked and safety notches causing the hammer to loose all it's force before hitting the pin. If I pull the trigger faster, it functions fine.
I'm not familiar with single actions. So, is this normal? Or do I have an issue in the trigger mechanism?
Thanks.
