Oh ... another revolver tie up occurred to me.
Years ago a piece of thread from off of a homemade cleaning patch became lodged beneath the extractor star of my favorite Smith & Wesson Model 10 after a cleaning session. Next time it came out for shooting use the revolver was balky, but it would have "sorta" worked. The thread was discovered and removed, the extractor star returned to seating properly, and a lesson was learned about attention to detail in revolver maintenance.
