Hi Ingo,
I want to apologize right now because I believe this will turn into a long post. I purchased a S&W Model 19-2 snub nose today. I took it home and cleaned it and then I went to the backyard to put some rounds through her (I live on a small farm). I loaded it up with 38 special reloads and shot the first cylinder in single action and double action. I loaded the cylinder again and encountered problems. For some reason double action mode in my revolver no longer works. I can pull the trigger and the cylinder turns, but the hammer doesn't move at all. Single action works fine. If I work the double action five or six times the action locks up and the only way to free it is to open the cylinder. I am not familiar with all of the smaller parts these revolvers have, I was wondering if anyone here might know what the problem could be. If worse comes to worse I was thinking about making the trip out to Rochester next week to Sand Burr shooting range to see if the smith there can work on it. Does anybody have any feedback about him or would it be better for me to send it back to Smith. They still work on their older guns. Any input is appreciated, thanks

on Sand Burr, good folks and they know their guns. Take some ammo targets and a stapler too to use on their ranges...and maybe another gun...or do that when you pick up your new and improved firearm.
