Today I borrowed a friend's Cimarron (ASM stamp on barrel) Schofield in 45 Colt. Fortunately I did not try and shoot it as a main match gun. I did try putting a few rounds through it after the match.
It would not shoot.
The trigger pull seems light enough (for stock) but when the trigger is pulled the hammer only falls to the half-cock position. The firing pin make it no where near the cartridge.
If you really give the trigger a yank some of the time the hammer will fall all the way and set the round off. But the trigger almost feels like it is a two stage trigger with take up, then release.
Is this a passive safety problem or something else?
Thanks for any help. It's a durn purdy gun, just won't shoot.
