i have a S&W Model 19-3, Texas Ranger. The gun is in excellent condition and is a goo shooter. Today, whole shooting a full load of six rounds, the first round fired normal. However, the hammer failed to return to firing position on the second round. The hammer remained closed and would not retract as I repeatedly pulled the trigger. Now if I pulled back on the hammer back about 1/4 inch, it would reset and fire.
After getting home, I disassembled the gun and did not find any obvious issues under the handgrips. In doing some searching, I am guessing that I need a new main spring. I have one on order from Wolf. Anyone have any thoughts on this?
On a side thought, I used to think revolvers were far more reliable than semiauto pistols. But no matter what I do, my S&W Shield goes bang each and every time. But I still enjoy my revolvers.
