Problem with 14-3

[9mmsubgun-m11]

My point was I trust no reloads but my own as I know exactly what went into them.

I took it out last night and I fired another 75 rounds without issue. I am hoping the problem doesn't come back.

If the revolver were mine I'd open it up for inspection. I'd check the springs as well as the Studs which could be bent or cracked (hope that's not the case). If you are not experienced and familiar with S&W Revolvers then a LGS should be able to do this and clean & lube the revolver while inside. The only way to really know what's going on is to look-but you would have to know what you are looking for.

Theory... possibly a shaved piece of lead from the wadcutter bullet stuck between the barrel and cylinder, wedging the cylinder ratchet against the hand? I know that if the hand can't freely move that the trigger won't return. Or possibly a shaving getting in the slot for the hand itself? (Improbable, but not impossible.) I am of the belief that it was the ammo and not the gun if it works fine with other types of ammo.
