I shot my new 629 today and later went to a gun shop and happened to see the Gunsmith... He specializes in S&W wheelguns.
I asked him to look over my 629 and see what he thought. Overall he thought it was a good gun
but agreed that the single action pull was funky.
He examined it further and said he believed that despite the transfer bar my gun was exhibiting negative sear engagement.
Has anyone heard of this?
And here I thought all I needed was a good trigger job....
