[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Need help with a Ruger

Posted: 6/21/2009 6:24:42 AM EDT

Guys,
I have a friend who purchased a NIB Ruger SP101. Every once in a while when you pull the trigger, something prevents a full pull on the trigger and the gun won't fire. This can happen when the gun is loaded or unloaded. The hammer won't fall. I don't know much about revolvers. What could be causing this problem and has anyone else had a similar problem? Thanks

my advice: have Ruger or a reputable smith look at it

it couild be the hammer spring, spur, etc

could you be short stroking the trigger?

if you cant figure it out, i would send it back.

Not short stroking it. Three different shooters have had this happened with the same gun. Another guy said it could be hammer springs. I will send it back. Thanks guys!

Could also be the cylinder stop not engaging, so it'll seem like short stroking.

Sounds like your'e gonna send it back in. Good deal.
