Trouble with my 10-6

[Bloodhound]

Every full cylinder has at least one and sometimes two pulls of the trigger the system loks up and the trigger won't pull. Just a touch of the cylinder and I am back in business...the cylinder is just not setteling...factory issue, or local smith???

Some local smiths aren't, so if you can't trust somebody locally, the only option is the factory.
I'm guessing that the cylinder stop could be the cause. If the cylinder stop (button on bottom of frame) is not snapping out of the cylinder fast enough, then that will need adjusting, or replacing. If you decide to try it yourself, and this is the problem, just post back and I or someone else will tell you where to file. If filing don't do it, a new stop will need to be fit. It's not hard to do, just a little common sense is all that is needed.

Thank you I do sometimes play around with refinishing, but when it comes to fileing, or fitting, I have learned to send it off. I messed with iot a little last night unloaded, and couldn't get it to lock up...so I went to the range after church this morning....and loaded it did it once each on each of 5 full cylinders... So my plan is to with a pick, clean the stop indentations on the cylinder, and then clean carefully the stop and its cavity, and see if I can get it working reliably...I just messed with it some more empty, and I can't get it to fail...seems strange that the weight of the rounds in the cylinder would make a difference...my other though was to clean under the star and see if there was some issue there...loaded vs unloaded...my next experiment...empty cases in the cylinder...to see if I can get it to fail....very strange

First thing to do is clean the gun well, under the extractor too then take if from there. In the faq sticky above will tell you how to take it apart, if you want to go that route.

The test with the empty cases resulted in the same kind of lock up...So I pulled the extractor and it had a chunk of lead on the underside of the extractor...looked like a scrapping of lead...I have only owned this gun for 3 months...I think the previous owner must have twisted a bullet under the extractor or something...

After I put it back together, I tried the empty case test, I couldn't get it to lock up...That may have fixed it...Thank you for the help and the link.
