I am great at problem solving with most semi-auto pistols and am pretty decent with rifles as well. I a certified Glock and 1911 armorer. I'm also very mechanically inclined.
With all of that said, revolvers are completely foreign to me. I can perform general maintenance and have had a couple apart. I had one apart that took about 10 attempts over 3 separate days to get back together.
THE PROBLEM: I have a Smith and Wesson model 37. Occasionally, the trigger pull gets a little stiff. I also noticed that occasionally if I cock the hammer and slowly guide if forward, it stops on it's own about half way forward. I originally though that the crane may be bent. However, it is not at any particular point in the cylinder rotation. I showed it to an "old timer" who really knows his way around wheel guns. He told me that it was an issue with the double action sear. He also told me that he would help me out but, he really never has the time.
Can anyone tell me what it is I need to do and how to go about it?
