That makes sense on the indentation.
My first though was a week hammer spring but the hammer pull feels fairly normal although I don't know exactly how or what it should be. The gun does have a light trigger, 20oz.
I don't know if anyone has altered it but if they did they did a superb job on not scratching the screws or anything because it looks like a new in the box gun. It just doesn't show wear like it has been shot at all so I would doubt worn parts, more likely either modified or defective parts would be my guess.
I just went out and shot it again and almost sure now what your saying could be the problem because it obviously happens more when the trigger barely squeezed off and when barely squeezing it off on a snap cap I can feel the trigger bounce when the hammer falls. If I hold the trigger steady and let the hammer come down easy with my hand I can certainly feel it rubbing the trigger after the sear releases. I don't think I'm letting the trigger come back forward.
What is your suggestion to correct this, aftermarket or factory parts or person? I've worked on a bunch of my own guns before but never a SAA.
I'll go either way, do it myself with instruction and the right parts or send it out. I want to make it right within reason. This is a sweet gun and it shoots very nice and accurate when if fires although it does makes me appreciate the Rugers, never had to work on them to make them work just to make them work better
Only had one other Colt, it was a real Colt and it had problems too but that was after a few hundred rounds.
