Just to clarify my explanation on what I thought happened when my friend fanned the single action. I said that he pulled the trigger when he started fanning but I assumed (wrongly) that happened.
As he showed me, one can pull the trigger and fan the gun but that does not explain the new position that the hammer held for a while after he fanned it.
I have send the firearm off to a gunsmith and will get feedback in a week or two.
We had a civilized discussion on what could possibly gone wrong but could not agree to anything.
I think that the hammer was held in the new position from an obstruction that was most likely rolled metal or something to that effect and after subsequent use the obstruction cleared and the hammer could go back to the original position which is the quarter cock position in this case. It might be that he squeezed the trigger, preventing it from going forward as he fanned the hammer.
Any case, it is off to the gunsmith.
I would like to thank everybody for the input received.
It helped, thanks.
