Must have lost a bet, to get that name.

It is NOT the trigger spring!

My bet, the trigger is worn.....

[How many of us, still use the orginal Ruger Vaqueros(OMV)in this sport?]

I prefer the original Vaqueros, but I have owned a few New Vaqueros. When I stopped Cowboy Action Shooting I used my original Vaquero and my New Vaquero. 
 

The original Vaquero has  SBH hammer, a 19# hammer spring and a 40 oz trigger spring. 
 

 

EDIT: It’s a .45 Colt. I used Bear Creek Supply 205 grain RNFP bullets over 7.7 grains of Universal powder. That load runs about 900 FPS. 

My SASS .44 load is 6.5gn of Unique, w/240gn moly coated RNFP from Bear Creek Supply in a mag case.

Runs about 840 fps from the Rugers, and just under 1K fps, from my 20" Marlin.

What's the caliber, and the modifications you have, or had done? 

Mine, blued/CCH 5 1/2" bbl, .44 mag, Power Custom half cock conversions. Using 17lb  Wolff hammer springs and 30oz trigger return springs. 

Still run'n the t'bars.  

Wearing checkered walnut gunfighter grips.

Thanks for your time!

Good. She showed nothing but an apathic, why me attitude during the entire episode. Hopefully she'll never be permitted to touch another firearm again for the rest of her life due to being a felon. I hope Baldwin's fate follows the same course of action.

Even more so when you see who her father is

Here's a short video that hope goes to show exactly what's happening -

 

 

That's 'over-rotation'.

Is it the same chamber each time?

I've got me some problems  

 

Guns are stainless .38/.357s and are all original except for lighter hammer and trigger springs put in two years ago when both pistols were bought new. No other modifications have been made (except for the addition of pearl grips).

 

As soon as I took the pistols out of their bags this morning and picked one up I could recreate the problem by cocking the hammer quickly. I thought "That was lucky I picked the problem gun up first" ...... until I picked up #2 and could recreate exactly the same problem  

 

The cylinders are rotating and stopping about 11.30 from 12 o'clock roughly around the 5th cocking (but not always the 5th). I can then manually rotate the cylinder clockwise that small amount and here everything click into place.

 

Operating both pistols slowly and more methodically it doesn't happen, but as soon as there's speed and force pulling the hammer back it happens. So my daughter in law must have been going like this. Now my wife isn't like the Uberti gorilla that puts in the screws at the Uberti factory by any means!

 

Feel pretty flat, not sure why this has happened all of a sudden? My wife is shooting them (she's competitive and scores well) like she always has (no slip hammering).

 

Where do I go from here pards? Is this something that is possible for me to fix? We don't have the luxury of easily accessible gunsmiths here that are experts on these pistols. 

 

Thanks one and all for the help.......any advice on what to do now?

Could the cylinders been switched?

Timing issue.

The cyl stop is not in the cyl notch when fired.

Widder has made a good suggestion! If that isn’t it….

 

Assuming two things in the lack of information presented so far:

1. This has never been a problem with this gun before.

2. You examined the firing pin and confirmed that the bushing is in place and the pin protrudes out as it should.

 

Confirm that the correct cylinder  and the correct base pin is installed all the way in. 
 

Also assuming this gun is actually a .38/.357.

Good seeing you posting again.

[What do I need to buy from Wolff ?]

Whatever Wolff Gunsprings you decide on.

CALL Wolff to make the order, and ask them to pull the spring order from the same lot run of springs.
