Or how would a gunsmith do this for me?
This is a used Model 10, and I fired it for the first time today. On one particular chamber, I'm calling it chamber 1, the hammer and trigger will only go about half-way back. If I let the hammer drop, I can then roll chamber 1 into position and take the next shot on chamber 2. All other chambers were functioning normally, at first, but now the chamber previous to number 1, number 6, is developing the same problem. When I pull back on the cylinder (when unloaded) the cylinder revolves.
It seems the cylinder is binding due to a minimal cylinder/barrel gap. Having no guages, I thought the gap looked tight in the store, but doubted it would be a problem. Never noticed any problem when checking the timing on each chamber with a flashlight, as per the checkout sticky thread.
Also, closing and opening the cylinder is sometimes rather stiff, and so is the cylinder latch.
Thanks to all who have helped me with my many questions about this gun.
