I have a first generation Colt SAA that has poor lock up, if you wiggle the cylinder with the hammer in full cock, you can usually get the cylinder to unlock and rotate to the next chamber.
So would replacing the gate catch mitigate this issue? Or, because the grooves (on the cylinder that contact the gate catch) are fairly shallow should I look into a new cylinder?
It seems strange to me that these grooves would be so worn as to not properly engage the gate catch. Then again, this Colt is well over 100 years old.
Thoughts?
