Howdy!
First off, I must preface this question by letting everyone know this is a Palmetto Walker (I know, but ya dance with what brung ya). It has performed decently with 2 issues.
1)After a few shots at the range yesterday, it stopped revolving. Then it would work intermittently sort of. Now at half-cock, the cylinder will spin freely in either direction, but lock in when cocked back. Took it apart for cleaning and still spun freely after reassembly, but then would work for a while. What broke?
2)Problem with ignition on one nipple after 1-2 shots. I pick each nipple before placing a cap and this one will not fire the cap. Try another nipple?
Last question: Should I mess with this one, or see about a Uberti Walker? I have heard so many good things about it here, I feel I am missing something. Or maybe get an 1860.
Thanks!
