My poor ol’ Covert is breaking down it seems. It may have seen 600 rounds shot since inception, but several months ago it broke the slide pin. Eric was kind enough to find me another, but I first had to smooth out the gauling on the slide and the frame rails...easily done. Put it all back together, fired it at the range last week with one FTF (probably my limp wrist?), but otherwise it did well. Anyway, I tightened the grip screws (after every 20-30 rounds), changed the recoil spring, went back today. At 5 yards put 2 rounds in the X-ring and then.....nothing....the hammer was flopping around and, although a round was chambered, there was no movement. Took it apart and removed the spring and trigger, both of which were in proper position. I pushed down on the mainspring and removed the piston under the hammer....it looked to me like it may be deformed, but I have nothing to compare and in fact have no clue how it engages the hammer at the upper end. I did not try to remove the hammer until I have more information..
1. Any good pictures/Schematics available on line?
2. Any suggestion, advice?
