Default S&W Governor

I just bought a governor for hmmm not sure it was so cool looking and i love S&W pistols but upon getting home and ready to go shooting it locked up. I used the key to try to see if the lock was on and it was not. weird thing is i can cock it in single action but it locks up it double action. Anybody have this issue? Can i remove the lock feature?

I have seen this problem once before in a new revolver. On a guess, as this is a new revolver, it would act like the ratchet pad hasn't been cut quite enough. If it is a challenge to get the hammer "all the way back" on a S.A. thumb cock, more likely than not, the hand may have a little too much purchase on the ratchet pad. That would make it most likely a ratchet pad adjustment; not the hand adjustment. As it is new, I'd take the intelligent approach & notify service...smarter than causing more trouble - Good luck - Dave

Very odd. Should be smooth. Take it back to the dealer you bought it from. Didn't you dry fire it and look it over good before purchase??
