I own several Ruger firearms and find them to be fine pieces. That includes two single actions: an old model Ruger .357 and a new model Ruger Bisley in .45 Colt.
Recently, I purchased (NEW!) another single action which does not work like the other two. It is a Ruger Stainless Bisley Hunter model. It shoots quite well (considering old eyes, bifocals and iron sights. It will be scoped soon.)
However, if you SLOOOOWLY cock the hammer, when the gun gets to the point where the trigger engages the sear (and the gun is cocked), the cylinder is not indexed and locked properly. EVERY chamber acts EXACTLY the same way. BUT if you cock the hammer ALL THE WAY BACK till it won't go any further and then let it back down to the cocked position, every chamber will be indexed and locked.
Is that normal? (As I said, it is NOT the way the other 2 I have work.) Is that ok? Does it need attention?
Thanks SA shooters.
