Now, if your favorite Peacemaker passes these tests, or the one you want to purchase passes them, you can be fairly certain you have a well timed Colt in your hand. The hammer will stop its rearward travel at the same time as the trigger reaches the full cock notch. The last test of a properly timed Peacemaker is after your hammer is at full cock, there should be little or no over-travel in your hammer. Another cause of this miss-timing is a worn full-cock notch on your hammer, or again a poorly done trigger job. These two movements will not happen together if your trigger is too short due to wear, or an improperly done trigger job. If the dwell is too long, the bolt will rise on the corner of the lock notch and peen the corner down until the cylinder will not stay in the locked position because the notch corner will be too low to hold the bolt head.Ħ.) Lastly as you again slowly finish the cocking arc, you should watch the trigger and hear a click that signals that the bolt is dropping into the cylinder lock notch at exactly the same instant the trigger snaps forward into the full cock notch of the hammer. If the bolt dwell is too short, the bolt will rise too early and hit outside of the approach and scratch a line in the finish. Not on the long edge of the notch, straddling the notch and approach.
