36-1, trigger trouble
I have a 36-1 that I have dry fired with snap caps with no issue. I took it to the range and it worked fine for 20ish rounds. Then I pulled the trigger and the trigger stuck in the pulled back position without moving the hammer back. It fired in single action. Fired 10 more rounds and the same thing occurred. I brought it home and it continues to work perfectly with the snap caps?
Any idea why the trigger disengaged?
Thanks

Probably either a broken hammer or trigger stud, unless you aren't telling the whole story.

I think the 7th Division just sorta kinda supported my theory. Thanks! By the way a distant relative of mine,MG David G. Barr, commanded the Hourglass Division when it landed at Inchon, Sept., 1950.

Thank you. I just bought the gun a few weeks ago. I am confident enough in my gunsmith skills to know I should never take the side plate off a revolver.

A confident gunsmith will remove the side cover just to say, "I knew I could do that", and then quickly put it back on without disturbing the insides.

I bought an M37 a while back and found it got light strikes and one or two failures-to-fire out of every 5 rounds.
The guy I bought it from said he didn't use it.
The fix was a new mainspring which a local gunsmith changed for $35 parts and labor.
My guess is people find a problem with a gun and then sell it off rather than fixing it.
Most likely it won't be a bid deal for a smith to fix.
A least you didn't find a frame crack or something.

Thanks. I need to pick up my 17-2 from a gunsmith next week. I will pick that up and drop this off. I'm guessing the guy I bought it from was not aware of the problem. He has an extremely strong reputation on the Georgia Website I frequent and bought this gun. I have 93 positive feedbacks, he has more than double that number.

I bought a model 49 recently and when I finally made it to the range I had problems with the lockup and a few FTF issues. I did exactly what opaul said although I did clean it in there a little. Then I brought the 49, my 36 3 in and my 60 to my gunsmith for a little tune up. He cleaned up a few rough spots , reshaped a few things and replaced a spring and now all are as smooth as glass.
