I have a 1970s model Charter Arms Target Bulldog with an odd problem. Was wondering if its worth exploring further. Had one guy who works on guns at my local range look at it, but he wasn't 100% sure of what it was & I know there's a lot of knowledge on here, so here it is:
Lockup is good & double-action is smooth with no problems at all, but single action is the issue. It shoots in SA, but when you pull the trigger, the hammer travels about 2mm then stops. It drops the hammer from there if you keep the backward motion on the trigger. So it's pretty much "click, boom" after you cock it and pull the trigger. But like I said, double action has no issues at all.
Any ideas on what I should be looking for to fix it?
