I took my dad to the range today. He brought a Colt Detective Special that he was having action problems with and wanted my opinion. The action was slow in its recovery and seemed "gummed up" before he messed with it. The cylinder didn't want to open properly. Long story short it looks like he was having trouble with it and took the panels off to try and fix it. It is now locked up.
The question I have is should I have him send it off to Colt or should I have him take it to a local gunsmith (probabaly Cosby's in Chandler Indiana)?
Anyone had a similar problem? Any advice?
It is a beautiful gun and I would like to get it working for him again.
Thanks in advance.
