Hi there,
I appologise in advance if this has already been covered in another thread, but I recently bought myself a colt police positive that needs a tiney bit of love to make it right.
It functions flawlessly in single action, but in one position, while firing in double action the cylinder is rotated past the engagement point.
It appears that the cylinder catch is skiping out of the groove in that position and alowing the cylinder to rotate too far.
Looking closly at it, it appears that someone with a punch attempted to raise a bit of metal on the lip of the catch grove to get it to catch better but was inefective.
How would I go about fixing something like this? is it something I should send off to have worked on by a pro? what does that kind of repair cost, should I just resign myself to using the gun in single action only?
I only spent 100$ on the pistol, and while the finish is not great, aside from the one problem I believe the gun to have alot of life left in it. the lock up is very strong and tight and the pistol feels to be in good mechanical shape.
Any help or advice that you have is greatly appriciated.
Thank you.
