To start off, I know there are those out there that will say this pistol is junk, but at the age of 63 this my first gun and first shooting experience. My husband bought me this gun, so enough said about that. Yesterday we took the gun to the shooting range and I shot about 110 rounds of regular ammo which worked great. Once I figured out the sight I was able to shoot fairly accuately, especially since this was my first time. I only missed the target about four times and had a great grouping of shots in the middle. The problem arose when I switched to the magnum cylinder. After loading, I was able to fire one shot before the cylinder hung up. I could not pull the hammer back to even a half cock nor get the cylinder to move at all. We unloaded it and reloaded the gun but the hammer would still not cock. Then we unloaded it and tried to put the hammer in a half cock but still no dice. We then took the cylindar out and put it back in with the same result. Once I put the regular cylinder in the revolver it shot fine. I have contacted Heritage but was wondering if anyone else had these same types of issues or had an idea of what could cause the problem and how it might be fixed. Getting rid of the gun at this point is not an option at this point.
