victory .38 DA sticking

[deaconaoak3]

I have an old Victory .38 S&W . I have a problem with the DA sticking . I have checked for space between the cylinder and forcing cone and I can see light between them. Does anyone know what the clearance should be or should I be looking elsewhere for a solution? I have thoroughly cleaned the surfaces and the DA still sticks.

Sounds like a good internal cleaning & lube of the lock work is in order.

In the mean time, try putting a few drops of Rem-Oil down the cracks by the hammer, trigger, hand, and locking bolt.
