I personally saw this type of failure before. although the hammer was in full cock over a loaded cylinder when the jam I saw occurred. It seems that the little flag broke off of the lock and jammed up the lockwork. I do not believe the lock failures are common (any machine can break) but they do happen once in a blue moon. enough for me never to own a gun with a lock
