Anaconda trigger issue.

[twinrider1]

Sent Anaconda to Colt for a recall. When it came back, I dry fired it and, more often than not, the trigger would hang up. The timing seemed fine, everything happened like I expected, but the trigger would stick and it would not return forward.

The repair order read as follows...
...Replace safety connector
...Adjust timing
...Open joint

I should have sent it right back, but I didn't. Put it back in the safe and there it sat. Years passed, life happened. Now I bring it out with the thought of sending it back. I dry fire it again and now it seems to be operating just fine. Dozens of cycles, no issues.

Two questions:
Is it reasonable to think that it was just tight and all the dry firing worked everything in? I've heard of guns getting smoother with use, but I don't know about guns fixing themselves.

Open joint...what does that mean?

I think the next step it to take it to the range. If the local guy thinks it's ok, I'll fire a few rounds and see if it operates smoothly.

Thanks,
Mike

Could have just been a speck of dirt pinched under the sideplate squeezing the trigger or hammer.

If it works now, it truly did fix itself!
