Ok, I saw it... wow. It's definitely getting out of time there somehow, and I'm not sure what to make of it. I'm probably using the wrong terms, but I know that indexing arm needs to grab onto the teeth on the back side of the ejector to rotate the cylinder. And if you're fully going DA on the hammer, I can't see how that could be short-stroking the trigger. Though that was a pretty good guess that would have made sense.
I also noticed that when the cylinder is "skipping a beat", that little paw that comes up from the bottom of the frame into the cylinder notch isn't retracting to allow for cylinder rotation the way it does when it is rotating properly.
That is just weird! Definitely keep this thread updated. Who knows... maybe you'll get it back by New Year's if you send it in today!
I listened to it with good head phones, that revolver sure sounds dry. Maybe it is just the recording.
That was the first thing I noticed too. Either that thing needed a good lubing, or there was a mouse hiding in there, lol.
Great trigger job info here: Ruger SP101 Trigger Job Guide | Steps 21 to 30
and the step I mentioned is step # 23 in this process. These instructions are for an SP101 trigger, but the internal mechanics are exactly the same between a sp101 and gp100
Sounds REALLY squeeky. Has it been cleaned and lubed yet since being sent from the factory?
