Question and some guidance

[ArtS]

I have seen this on doubles and as stated above, it is generally dirt or a worn or broken sear surface. Wear general comes on gradually. If it started suddenly, it is either something thatwas deposited quickly or a chipped or broken part. Either wear or crap laying down general comes on slowly in my experience. It may start failing to hold cock suddenly, but would generally give a lot of warning by getting lighter and sloppier over a period of time. Try a good soaking cleaning first maybe. If mechanical, anything that is working but not correctly can generally be repaired by a competent gunsmith. A sear and notch are pretty simple but must be shaped carefully.

Harry, was that a result of "quality reloads"? Asking for a friend.

I started to ask you how you could tell if it were 8 or 8 1/2 or 9 or 7 1/2 if it were flattened
