After 15 or so shots w/14-2 at ccw range, trigger did not want to return.
I'm a 30 yr auto master tech not much I cant fix. But I was a little intimidated, to take apart
had already cleaned maint wise. Found a pdf file w/exploded veiw and this site.
Side cover was stuck like glue,but got it off and it looked like maybe soda was spilled
inside ,dry and hard,not sticky[till gun warmed up]. Took all pieces out and cleaned w/damp
cloth [worked better than cleaner]. Oiled good and reassembled. Fells better and about 60 rounds
and all is good. No big deal !!!!
Thanks dwf

Nice work, I feel that the Dan Wesson revolvers, particularly the small frames, are very good designs for people of good mechanical aptitude to tear apart, clean and maintain themselves.
Sounds like you got it all covered already, but we do have a great thread on the subject if anyone ever needs guidance-

^ I read that thread and then dove right into it myself. I had never disassembled a revolver prior and I found the Dan very easy to work on. I polished up a few contact points, cleaned it all out, and it is shooting oh so nice. Good job.

Nice job! Yes, small frame DW's are very easy to take apart & reassemble, plus there's few tools required to do the job. Smith's & Colt's are nowhere near as easy, by comparison.
