I just bought a new sidelock which turned up today and immediately noticed something unusual (for me at least). I took it to half cock and tried to put the hammer back down on to the nipple and it would not budge (pulling the trigger while gently lowering the hammer that is). The only way I can get it to do it is by going to full cock and then lowering down to the nipple. In this instance is still has a distinctive click as it passes the half cock position (moreso than I've noticed with my other sidelock).
I have not taken the lock apart, I literally picked it up, played with it for 5 mins and then have been occupied with my sons birthday party since.
I don't want to go into the brand of the gun because I don't want the topic to go off track, suffice it to say it was not a cheap gun. I'm just really interested to know if this is acceptable in a percussion because my other does not do this at all.
