I bought a very clean used Smith Model 66 combat Magnum and set about tricking it out right away. I replaced the boot grips with Safariland palm swell grips and was pleased. Next at the insistance of a friend I will have to say is more than a little obsessed with smoothing out the operation of all moving parts on a revolver we polished all moving parts and again all was good. Then came the "WE" need to lighten up the trigger "OL BUDDY" and that is where the trouble came in. "WE" put lighter hammer and return springs and all seemed very good indeed. What started to occur shortly after is the cylinder release arm will not retract enough at times to let the cylinder rotate and becomes a combat loser magnum. I am seeing a bright shiney ring showing around the cylinder telling me the release arm when does retract enough to let the cylinder rotate it still doesnt pull fully pull away from the cylinder. What are "WE" missing here ?
