Great! Glad it did.

Earlier, when I mentioned the model 12 I had that did this, I tried fixing it by expanding the metal on the cam end of the lock, and reshaping it. I found it was better, even on the model 12, to buy a new lock. Some give warnings on replacing these, but it is not as bad as is said. You have to re-stake two small straight springs to the new model 12 lock, and simply replace it. Anyhow, I had all kinds of fit problems, including a hang fire that went off at my hip, while trying to fix the old lock, so I always say replace them if available.
