Our range is opening up next week and I'm going !!!!!!! However the last time I shot my GP-100 I was doing some single action shooting and I noticed every 6th pull back of the hammer there was more resistance then the previous 5 .
I obviously stopped shooting and continued trying to figure out why . It was very clear it was doing this and very repeatable . Every 6th pull back of the hammer it was harder to pull back . This was loaded or unloaded it did not matter . Not a lot harder but noticeable and more resistance on the second half of the pull then the first half . At first I thought I bulged a cylinder but they all "seem" the same . I can't see anything that would indicate a physical problem . I wiped it down but have not cleaned it . FWIW after pulling the hammer back about 30 or 40 times it stopped doing it and now it seems fine but I have not shot it since and I want to next week .
I'm still concerned though because of the consistency of the issue . Am I wrong in thinking everything in the gun works and acts the same on every trigger pull back and fire except the cylinder ?? Meaning the cylinder advances the chambers so it's different every time but everything else actuates the same on every hammer and trigger pull ?? It just seems odd it would happen on every 6th cylinder , you'd think if it was something other then the cylinder it would happen more randomly .
I should also add that I switched out the trigger and hammer springs and shimmed the hammer . This was done hundreds of rounds ago ( more then 500 less then 1000 ) till that point everything was working great .
Any ideas ?
