I noticed something odd about my Uberti/Cimarron Model P .44 Special tonight. I had cleared it prior to checking the fit of a holster, and as I let the hammer down, something seemed amiss. I cocked the hammer and tried to rotate the cylinder by hand ~ locked up tight. Eased the hammer down and checked the rotation ~ no rotation to the right (clockwise) but more than slight movement to the left (Counter clockwise). Rotation moved the cylinder about half the diameter of the chamber. I removed the cylinder and cocked the hammer. The bolt snapped up like its supposed to do. Bit when I press down on the bolt, there was slight resistance. The locking notch leads cammed the bolt down upon counterclockwise rotation.
So, out to the shop and dug through my spare parts, and did find a Single Action bolt/trigger spring. Incidentally, my Uberti takes the same screwdrivers as Colt.
As it turned out, downtime was less than a half hour from diagnosis to working again.
