That frequently happens with many Colt DA revovlers. It often results when the tip of the trigger, the sear, is worn down and does not allow the hammer to go back fully.

Try this, make sure the gun is empty, then cock the hammer and note if the cylinder locks up all the way. If it doesn't, hold the hammer cocked, press the trigger fully back as far as it will go. If this causes the cylinder to rotate and lock, the trigger sear is worn.

Replacing the trigger is fairly simple in a Colt, and I'd suggest you look for one from Numrich (Gun Parts Corp.) for your guns.

If you've got some good screwdrivers for use on guns, the replacement is fairly simple, and you'd save yourself some money.
