hey everyone, first post here.
own several guns (some nice revolvers ) and recently the wife got into it as well (bonus!). took her CCW class and she settled on the little S&W .38 special, model 442 to carry (as a side note, i carry an older S&W .357, model 66). the trigger on my gun is as smooth as a babies butt. her 442 trigger pull is atrocious (which is to be expected since it's new, no biggie really). she's tiny and can't even pull the trigger, so i have been working it quite a bit trying to loosen it up, and it's been working. ok, enough background, here goes:
lately, while working it (dry firing), every once in awhile it seems as though the cylinder is failing to spin all the way around when firing double action. when i pull the trigger, the cylinder will spin- but not quite far enough to engage the hammer fall. the trigger will then seem to lock up until i spin the cylinder that extra .5mm and then the hammer will fall.
is this just bad form on my part (i'm not really paying attention to that stuff since i'm clicking while watching TV or something)? or could it be something else?
appreciate any thoughts! (tried to search and didn't find any helpful info. also- i examined it in the store and it is a solid little revolver)
