A friend of mine has a pre war Colt Woodsman in 22cal and he is having some problems. He recently took it out to the range and it fired well until he let it rest a few minutes while using his other gun. When he picked it back up and switched off the safety the pistol went off! It then cycled another round, fired again, then jammed! This whole time my friend never touched the trigger! Does anyone have an idea as to what could have caused this or know anything that would fix this problem? Any advise would be helpful.
