I have a .32 Colt Police Positive that was my grandfathers, which has a timing problem.

When you cock the hammer, the cylinder does not revolve all the way in to position. This is the position of the cylinder with the hammer cocked:

If I rotate the cylinder manually, it clicks in to place.

Is there a common cause of this, such as a worn Cylinder Hand or ejector ratchet? Are these parts available anywhere?
