I have a 1851 Colt Clone. The cylinder locks up in battery before the hammer gets to half cock. It worked fine when I first got it (very, very used). The cylinder locked up with a spent cap. I disassembled it cleaned it out and put it together now just before the hammer get lock in half cock the cylinder locks. This pistol was beat up pretty good when I got it and I didn't pay much for it. The wedge spring was missing and it looked like someone used a hammer to remove it...more than once.
