I need some help. Took my Schofield out to a match Sunday and on the second stage it locked up in half cock. On the next stage I got off the first shot and it stuck came free and at full cock the cylinder was not locking up. I kept working with it and got all five to fire. Then I fixed the problem, I put it up and got out the Ruger.
I was not riding the trigger learned about that the hard way. Any suggestions??? Also need the name of a good Schofield gunsmith, I love the gun and intend to get more of them but I don't want any more 120 second stages. Plans are to take it apart and give it a good cleaning and lub and see how it does this weekin.
All suggestions welcome!!!

As Joss said, it could be alot of things. If it has worked fine it the past it could be something as simple as high primers. I have learned the hard way to always spin the cylinder after loading the 5 rounds to be sure it doesn't hang up on a high primer. I use the rounds that have the high primers in my rifle as it doesn't care.
If you have more than one and you take them a part at the same time make sure you do NOT put the wrong cylinder in the wrong pistol. I did and now that pistol is prone to having problems cycling from time to time. I haven't gotten around to trying to fix it yet, only been a year now. :( :(
