I got my new Cimarron Schofield today. The hammer is supposed to have 3 positions, half cock, full cock, and down after firing. When the hammer is down after firing the frame latch won't move and the gun can't be opened.
Here's my question. If I load it with snap caps and pull the trigger, the hammer drops all the way down and the latch won't move. But if I cock the gun and ease the hammer down on an empty chamber while holding the trigger back the hammer doesn't lower all the way and the latch can still be moved.
What's going on here?
Thanks
