I've got my dad's WWII issue S&W Victory Model 38 Special. We took it to the range the other day, and after about 40 rounds, it simply seized up. I couldn't pull the hammer back, couldn't pull the trigger, couldn't even push the cylinder release. After fiddling with it for a while, it seemed to just start operating normally, although I didn't try shooting it any more. It has always been well cared for and lubricated.
Any hints on what happened? I'm not a revolver person, so I'm stumped.
