I have two Colt revolvers, a Python and a Diamondback. The Python came from the factory custom tuned and I was told the Diamond back had a action job. My question is this, when you pull the hammer back slowly, the cylinder does not quiet turn far enough to lock into place. As soon as you start to pull the trigger the cyliner goes into place. If you pull the hammer back very fast the cyliner goes right into place from the start. Is this any thing to be concerned about. They both have very nice double action triggers, the Python is unbeleivable. Thanks for the great post.
