I have a certain soft spot for the Interarms Virginian Dragoons. I've never seen a .357 (although) I knew they exist, until lately. I got one recently (in the elusive blued version, no less) and the timing was all screwed up.
I took it apart and found the trigger spring broken, not an uncommon thing for single actions of this style, and Wolff had one that fit!
Long story short, I installed the trigger spring, and now when it's cocked, it locks up solid as a rock. As soon as I pull the trigger, before the hammer falls completely, the cylinder rotates back a few degrees. It's sort of like the hand tension disappears when I pull the trigger.
I'd like to know if any of you single action fans have ever encountered this or have some idea what may be going on. I'd really like to shoot it since my .45 LC and my .44 Mag need a functioning little (ha!) brother.
Any suggestions that don't involve replacing it with a Super Blackhawk are welcome.
Best regards...
