When I put firing caps on the cylinder of my brand new Pietta 1860 Army revolver I have an issue where the hammer will not cock back. When I first pull the hammer back 2 clicks and pull the trigger everything works fine. But when I bring the hammer back two clicks and then with my finger on the trigger and hammer put the hammer back down as not to fire, the hammer will not pull back up again. The only way to free the hammer is to pull the barrel off. What am I doing wrong? Could the issue be the firing caps? I use 11 caps which work fine on my 1851 navy. Would switching to 10s on the army fix the problem? Thanks!
