Model 27 - Hammer Stuck

[steelslaver]

There was probably some debris in the hammer or its immediate area or possibly in the hands slot in the frame. Plus, as mentioned the 2 mating surfaces between cylinder and extractor star need to be kept clean,

Always eject your empties with the muzzle well elevated in a safe direction, that way burned powder debris is more likely to fall away than land in that are and become trapped.

Mainspring strain screw appears to be pretty tight. I know some people like to loosen them to lighten up the DA pull. Doesn't appear to be the case here.

I suppose it won't hurt to have it checked out by a good gunsmith and I certainly don't might paying for one to take a look. Trouble is that I don't know any that work on revolvers. Will have to ask around. Unless someone here can recommend a place I can mail it out to. I don't mind a month or two turn around. Would rather have a reputable gunsmith who knows old revolvers vs some local hack.

If you get to that point, check with TK Custom. They have worked on SW revolvers from all over the U.S.

It just needed cleaning “and” lubricant.
