Not sure if this belongs in "handguns" or "gunsmithing" but here goes:

My SAA cylinder won't rotate freely when the hammer is at half cock.  When I pull the hammer back the bolt drops but then clicks back up at half cock. Any ideas what's wrong?

Inconceivable!!! 

Everyone knows: revolvers never malfunction!

/sarcasm

 

On a serious note, I have no idea. Hope you get it fixed though!

Probably one of those glock made revolvers

Must have been.... damned Austrians.

What gun?

 

Is it an actual SAA, or a clone of some make?

 

Is this a new occurrence, and worked normally prior to this?

Did you take it apart?

It's an uberti clone with a transfer bar safety system.  The problem is intermitant but getting more frequent.

I took it apart after the problem started and didn't see anything obviously wrong. However, I'm no gunsmith.
