Good afternoon!
I just recently acquired a colt peacekeeper and went thru 170 rounds already (.38 spl Magtech) There a few things I'd like to ask:
1-I've cleaned twice already, after 70rnds and then another time after 100rnds. Used the oil and the brushes thru barrel and chambers. Thing is when looking down the chambers I can see a "non-shiny" ring just about where the tip of the bullet (.38 spl) would sit. I've tried to brush it away with no success. I was wandering, perhaps it is coated in order to withstand the blast from shorter than .357 cases? or did I just discover a new kind of super gun powder gunk.
2-After reading several opinions online it seems to be "okay" to dry fire the gun. But I'm guessuming that doing it too often would be in any case a bad idea.
2.1: I bought online a couple of aluminium snap-caps, and once the hammer hits the transfer bar, the trigger wont reset, as if it was being held by the firing pin. After that I went thru the range and tried DA with no issues, has it happened to any of you?
3-Sometimes I have to struggle a little bit with pulling the hammer to align the chamber with the barrel, I can also guess that being an unused old revolver, the action will smooth itself out?
thank you all for your time!
