Help with Colt Detective special

[gus3836]

Shooting my colt DS I seem to have one chamber that the hand is not catching to turn the cylinder. If I slowly pull the trigger it works but a quick pull and it does not move. Anyone know a good colt smith for help with this. Thanks Gus

You would do best sending it back to Colt. There are a lot of good guys out there if you can find one close by but you may need a new ratchet pad if you have a tooth messed up.

Will colt work on it?

 

[Dfariswheel]

Yes they will, and they're the first choice for repairs or refinishing.
They will be a little slow due to heavy work load.

If you don't want to wait for Colt's lead time, send it to Frank Glenn.
He does Colt factory level work and is a well known Colt expert:

Well the DS is off to colt for repair

Good luck with it!
I hear they are very close to filing for bankruptcy

 

[gus3836]

Well I hope they stay in business. They never said anything when I talked with them. But it is what it is!

Too late but I would have suggested Cylinder & Slide.

It could be something as simple as being dirty or gummed up.
