Due to unfortunate circumstances I have become the owner of a HS .22 Mag Derringer. (Same reason for the Bersa Thunder) I shot the derringer Saturday and it would only fire the top chamber. Hmm.
I took it apart Sunday night and what I would have called the hand (They call it an actuator) was out of place and a small spring was loose in there. I went ahead and took it apart some to see the other workings, and see if I saw any other obvious issues.
Then I googled it and came up with a parts diagram. That allowed me to be sure what spring it was, even though I was pretty sure. It is part # 1 and part #2. Getting the actuator spring back in and keeping it in while I put the cover plate back on was tricky, so was compressing the main spring and getting it back in. The actuator advances a ratchet that moves the firing pin up and down, so that was indeed the issue.
After I got it back together I tested it with fired casings and it works as intended now. Nice!
Trigger pull is stiff, I have jokingly called it 17 1/2 pounds, but I doubt I am far off. Oil helped, it was bone dry in there.
Neat little gun.
