Months ago I picked up a Taurus J frame in a trade for a Beretta .25 or .32 (with cash coming my way).P
I took it to the range and enjoyed it, and it shot more accurately than my S/W 642.
Since I didn't need two CC .38s, even though I loved having the hammer on the Taurus, for utility I needed to keep my hammerless 642.
I traded it for another gun that I could have some fun with (Walther P22 QD).
The new owner called me saying that it had some cycling issues, and I'd put
I was very surprised b/c I'd experienced nothing and told him not to worry that I'd trade back or if I'd sold it before he was done simply give him the cash. (I won't reveal how much since I love to talk about money and have been criticized, ha!)
I had this happen at home with a big Taurus .22 magnum when I was working with it at home before I sold it and it got "bound up."
It scared me b/c the trigger could not be pulled back or the hammer.
Now I had fired the gun a few boxes of ammo with no issue so I know it was something I had done messing with it, and it went away.
Someone who knows guns would understand exactly what I'd done and why.
If anyone has any input about how to "undo" it when it "freezes up" or what not to do to cause that to happen.
