Yup, the one on my Pietta 1851 Navy.
Was having a really nice session at Henryville range, when cylinder stopped turning. I thought no problem I have fixed this before, broke hand spring ez pz. Stopped at the CVS in Scottsburg and picked up some bobby pins.
When I got home and started disassembly, I had quite the shock when i removed the hammer and saw that the actual hand had broke.
So two questions, 1. recommendations on where to pick up a replacement, preferably drop in but I guess i can work it if I have to, and 2. Is there any particular reason that causes the actual hand to break? The spring wearing out I can easily understand, but the hand seems a rather sturdy piece.
