I hate to post new when its been beat to death but read this.
Yesterday I watched the utube by Blackie Thomas called The Percussion Revolver Cap Jams. Look it up and watch.
I did exactly what he said about smoothing the groove in the hammer, not the sight groove, lower.
Well I just got back from the range with my Colt 51 Navy, and I gotta say. What a farkin improvement. Out of about 100 to 120 shot i only had 2 fall off into hammer action from cap suck. All the other caps stayed on nipples, cycled thru the channel on recoil shield and dropped off at opening. Just like Sam intended. My god what a pleasant experience.
Look up the video. It worked for me.
