Another Walker adjustment

[M. De Land]

Still learning the nuances of the new Uberti Walker I acquired last year I recently noticed that the trigger nose is contacting the half cock notch as the hammer falls with the addition of the action shield apparently. My guess of the cause is perhaps the added weight on the hammer or possibly interference fit of the shield in the hammer mortise or to heavy of a trigger return spring.
I'll post back with a cause and remedy when I get it all sorted out.

I reduced the width (not thickness) of the trigger return spring and re-contoured (lowered) the nose of the half cock notch which greatly reduced the trigger nose contact with the half cock. It looks like the trigger return spring was so stiff it was pulling back the trigger nose, contact release length from full cock into making a bounce contact with the half cock nose as it passes over in full cycle. I may still add a leverage block into the curve (turn back) of the main spring to increase it's strength and thus speed as I learn the nuance and balance of fine Walker tuning.
I really like this pistol and the add on's installed.
It doesn't seem to need a cap rake but it's not out of the question if problems arise. Most interesting gun to work on and experiment with.
