      If the gun doesn’t fire, stroke the trigger again. If it still doesn’t fire, you’re most likely out of ammunition.

      Smug revolver owners (of which I am one) often proclaim that the revolver malfunction procedure is pull the trigger again! While I admire the devotion these people have, I also have to admit that it’s not the only solution.

      Let’s get an ugly truth out of the way: revolvers do jam. Thankfully it doesn’t happen terribly often, but there are a few things that can keep a revolver from being fired. Unlike autoloader problems, revolver malfunctions are quite rare, which ironically makes them harder to deal with. First because when they do happen they’re usually more severe and take the gun out of commission, and second because we don’t get a lot of practice in how to handle them.

      What kinds of things can happen to a revolver? The most common malfunction is that a round doesn’t ignite. It’s the easiest thing to deal with, and one for which the revolver is uniquely suited: simply stroke the trigger to bring a fresh round under the hammer!

      While that’s the event with which you’ll have the most experience, there are a number of other things that have been known to occur: an unlatched cylinder, a high primer that keeps the cylinder from rotating, a broken firing pin, dirt under the extractor, debris in the lockwork, a bent yoke, a self-engaged safety lock, a broken mainspring…the list goes on.

      Most of these are preventable. Ammunition problems are easily dealt with by buying only quality ammo or tightening up your reloading procedures. Keeping the gun clean, lubricated, and in good repair (including making sure that any screws are properly tightened) will forestall most of the others. Of course,
