I recently bought this gun. The nickel is very nice and it does not appear to have been shot very much. However, the gun will not pull back most of the time. Single action works more frequent than double action. The cylinder locking "finger" snaps into place too soon when you begin to pull the hammer back and it locks the cylinder back up and It cannot be cocked.

Given it is in such good shape, I do not see how the timing could be so worn. It does not appear dirty, but I have yet to take it apart. Has anyone else experienced anything similar?

  Could be as easy as a chip in the works. Take it apart and clean it. http://www.gunpartscorp.com/catalog/Products.aspx?catid=8445

  Okay, I will tear it down and keep an eye out for wear as well.
  
  Can anyone shed some light on this gun? It feels good and looks high quality. Are they good shooters?

  Timing & lock-up are a problem with this model; it tends to shave lead. It was my buddy's first gun, & I still have the scar on my face.....don't let anyone stand next to you when you shoot it.
