In a case of nostalgia, I carried the 1977 Blackhawk .357 to woods, I've owned the gun since the early 80's. Never abused, well maintained, shot a bit, carried alot. Archery scouting ......and of course, it rained, and me and it got soaked. So a cleaning was in order, and afterwards, I picked a knot on the wall and dry fired a few times (please, no safety Sally's, the revolver was clear and I was certain).
About 3 reps in, something felt and sounded wrong with the hammer fall. The pistol was tied up, as in, could not be cocked, nor could the loading gate be opened. Some dorking and the top half of the transfer bar fell out. It cycles now, but of course, won't shoot. Well......................shucks!!!!!!
A phone call to Ruger, they are sending me (2) transfer bars. I've watched the disassembly videos, I'll let you know how it goes.
