I have a nice little Colt 1877 in 38 LC that has an issue with the half cock notch. Simply put, the half cock won't engage. Other than this one problem, the gun functions and shoots just fine. What part is most likely my problem? MLG Best guess, the hammer or trigger half cock sears are worn out, or the trigger spring is cracked. here for parts, http://www.coltparts.com/pt_1877da.html Also keep in mind that the pistol is 38 LC black power, and not 38 special smokeless powder. So really, the piece is more of an actual collector piece, than a shooter instead. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zplr7DePkA |

Thanks for the input. I guess I need to take it apart & look at those.
I cast my own heeled bullets for both, 38 & 41 Colt so ammo is not a concern. The old guns are fun to shoot. Edited. But damn it can be tricky to reply from a phone. |

But damn it can be tricky to reply from a phone. Just a FYI, but if the sears are worn, then can be re-milled, instead of having to buy new parts instead. Really, if you are going to be owning/shooting older firearms that the parts are long out of production, really need to find a friend that is a machinist. |
