Howdy all,
I asked this over on the CAS forums, but it never hurts to ask around, so I figured I'd ask here too.
I was looking in my favorite LGs when I cam across an Uberti 1849 Pocket model for a decent price. I've been bitten by the BP bug, so I'm certainly intrigued by this revolver, but I had a question (I should also note that I'm aware that the pocket models tend to have more problems than the average Uberti BP pistol, but it'd make a perfect companion to my 1851 London Model, so I've got to give it a try). I noticed that if I cocked the piece with any kind of authority, the cylinder would over rotate just a bit. Not a problem if I cocked it slowly.
I'm still a bit of a newbie to these guns, so I'm not quite sure what the issue is, it's not one I've experienced with any of my other 'Old West' guns. Is this indicative of a bigger problem? Is this a potentially easy fix?
Thanks for y'all's time, it's greatly appreciated.
