Good morning KyFarmer. I'm sorry to hear about your trouble with your Uberti. While the steel of the Uberti's of the '70's or '80's might be in question, all of the newer products from Uberti are very well made. You have the possibility of two problems. A trigger that might not have been properly hardened and is 'rounded off' on the back corner, or a bolt/trigger spring issue (or both). I had a friend's gun with the same problem, and when we took it apart, the back corner of the trigger was 'rounded' off. He said he HAD abused the gun so we went no further into if the trigger had not been properly hardened or not, and just replaced it. The back of the trigger should be a sharp corner. If it is not, you will have to either replace the trigger or file or stone it back to the proper shape. Be warned you will have to keep the angle correct for it to work correctly. And if you do return it to the proper shape, it will be slightly shorter and this will affect the timing of the gun. A possibility is that your cylinder may not align with the loading gate when on half-cock. I would just buy a new trigger and put it in, they are quite inexpensive. A new trigger MAY also affect the timing of the gun but not likely it will. While you are ordering the trigger, get another bolt/trigger spring and one of the new style hammer springs. For the bolt/trigger, I would recommend one of the wire style (they never break, the flat style might) and get a Wolff Hammer spring (just ask for the style with the slot in it). You will love how that makes the gun feel. With the new trigger and springs, she should give you years of pleasure. 44 Man
