Wild and Wooly

 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.
