No Dash Highway Patrolman Issue

[1KPerDay]

Interesting.

Not the same situation but I bought a (looked new) used CZ75 Omega at cabelas for $400 and it cost me $400 in parts and gunsmithing work to get it running right. Not much of a bargain but it's a great pistol now.

I am a longtime revolver shooter so taking the sideplate off and looking things over doesn't present any problems. . .

Excellent! You need Kuhnhausen's S&W Workshop Manual. You'll appreciate those much more (than you already do) when you understand more of their complexities.

Udate on my no dash Highway Patrolman issue: Figured it out! It has the WRONG hammer block installed! It is too short and depending on the angle the revolver is held will slip back and catch and not allow the cylinder to be turned. I have owned this revolver for ten years with no hammer block safety! Is there ANY POSSIBLE reason besides complete ignorance that this would be done????? I removed the part (functions normally now of course) but if I shoot it I will keep that chamber empty till I get a new one. Unbelievable. Bought it at Cabelas - anyone have a similar situation?

Boom, called it!

Lol.

Glad you figured it out, sounds like an easy enough fix.
