Getting the cylinder open left a nice scratch between two of the notches. A new hammer nose and she's back in business, but I suspect whoever had it before me spent more time dry firing than live firing.

Now I would invest in a set of A-Zoom snap caps, then dry fire away. The caps will more closely simulate the weight of a loaded gun, and the action will only improve with use. That firing pin was designed to hit something when the hammer falls.
