Okay, I did a search and could not find anyone else with this problem.
Revolver is a Brinks trade-in M64-5 DAO (looks like it was made by S&W that way, but I'm not 100% on that). I bought it recently (used, obviously).
Sometimes, stroking the trigger does not cause the hammer to rise and fall. It moves just a very little bit, and that is all. Trigger moves through its full stroke, no jams or tough spots, although it does not feel as smooth as some. This only happens once in a while, so it's difficult to duplicate.
I took off the side plate, gently cleaned and lubed everything inside. Since then, I have only done some dry firing, and have not (yet) had the hammer fail to rise...but I'm not sure I fixed anything, because i did not find anything conclusive.
One thing I do note is that the trigger "stages" semi-normally, one click, two clicks, then the hammer falls. But the distance of trigger/hammer movement after the second click seems more than normal...and the effort after the second click seems to increase more than normal.
I don't have another DAO K-frame to compare to, so I'm comparing to my well-broken in, very smooth M-66 no-dash...may not be a valid comparison.
Any suggestions are welcomed.
Best regards, Rich
