Model 27 S&W

I have a S&W Model 27 and cant get the hammer pulled back buy using the triger or hand to #### the hammer

Did you take it apart recently?

 

[JB]

nope

Are there any rounds in the chambers? Sometimes a protruding primer can jam up the cylinder and if it can't rotate the hammer can't go back . Can you open the cylinder? If you can the primer thing is not your problem.

Very recently happened to me on my 686. Can you get the cylinder out?

If not, move around the cylinder pretty hard until it shifts. It gets stuck in a state where it never quite locked in, but it prevents the hammer from coming back as it can't turn over the cylinder.

And if that still doesn’t do it, you can put a very small flat-head screwdriver into the end of the cylinder rod and manually push that locking piece away (towards the muzzle), and the cylinder will be able to be pushed out.

Hope that makes sense

Cylinder rod probably backed out, you'll have to try and turn the cylinder while holding the rod so as to tighten it back into the cylinder. Once you can open it, disassemble the mechanism and put some Loctite on the rod threads, prevent it happening a second time. - dan
