I have a fairly new N frame S&W revolver that has developed a little tic.
It has a beautiful double action trigger – a real delight.
But it has somehow lost its ability to shoot single action.
It is difficult up to the point of impossibility to thumb back the hammer and have it 'catch' at the rear of its normal movement ready for single action fire.
If one does get it to catch, depressing the trigger causes the trigger (as well as the hammer) to snap strongly forward – not at all a normal return for a trigger.
Has anyone else experienced this?
(I am more experienced with Ruger, Colt, and Dan Wesson revolvers- this is my first Smith.)
What is my best course of action? Find a gunsmith, or call S&W customer service?
