I have a Colt double action revolver. I bought it new unfired. I have had ZERO problems with it except this:
Two separate times when I was aiming, I pulled the trigger back very slowly. For whatever reasons, I eased off the trigger, or somehow backed off the pressure, and then increased the pressure and attempted to fire. These two times that it happened, the cylinder basically locked up. To cure the problem, you just have to hit the cylinder release, let the cylinder fall out and then close it.
I have tried to recreate this but cant do it. I am trying to get it to screw up, but now I cant.
Im not really worried about it, cause I know the times it has happened was when I was doing screwy stuff with the trigger, and in a defensive situation would never shoot like that. None the less, has anyone heard of this before?
The revolver is clean and well maintained. There are no modifications or action jobs done to it.
