Haven't been posting much. Things are wild and wooly in a good way. A family event over the weekend, and this week spending time with a grandson who is in town for a week
We're leaving on Friday for a week out of town, and when the day gets done, I realize that I haven't posted. We're good, we're real good..
Right now I'm trying to figure out the safety interlock on a Cimarron single action revolver. The old Colt SAA had a well-known feature of allowing the firing pin to rest on a live primer. That is why the old-timers generally carried five in the cylinder and let the firing pin rest on the empty chamber. Nowadays the manufacturer of Colt clones are tying to idiot-proof the gun and are putting an interlock that only lets the firing pin protrude when the trigger is firmly to the rear.
I have one that is causing me grief, and a new shooter came by with the same gun and the same problem.
I have to figure this out.

I have read that you can easily replace the trigger and hammer and delete the "prairie dog" firing pin.
YouTube, of course, has deleted the video I would have directed you to.
This link might help get you on track.
