Got that newly acquired M27-2 out to the range for the first time today and encountered a problem. While it generally fired OK and has a good trigger pull. A couple of times a pull from cocked condition resulted in the hammer only falling part way & obviously not firing. Recocking resulted in a normal single action pull. The ammo I was shooting was Rem. factory 125 gr. semi-jacketed. Then I tried a cyl. of Speer 140 grn JHP. After two shots the cyl. locked up and I couldn't get it open nor cock the hammer. When I got home, I was able to open it up with some difficulty, but no harm. Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong? Could the strain screw be too tight or am I "straining" for a simple explanation? :banghead:
