I have a Uberti Cattleman revolver. The hand won't turn the cylinder all the time. I disassembled it thinking that a spring had broke. Upon disassembly I discovered there's NO spring that holds the hand forward to revolve the cylinder. The diagram that came with the gun shows the hand but also doesn't show a spring. When the gun was working properly what held the hand to the cylinder.
Some diagrams of Colts shows a spring on the hand.....What am I missing ?

Greetings,
Browsing eBay for Uberti Cattleman hands I see there are two versions.
The latest uses a coil spring.
My guess is the original had a leaf spring as part of the hand.
Cheers,
Dave

Probably the spring broke off and fell out of the revolver. That's a common occurrence with the flat handspring. I use a small AR detent with a small coil spring in the top left screw hole in frame. Sometimes the screw and/or the detent needs to be shortened a bit for fit and function. Not difficult to do and once done no more worries about the hand not working.

First off, I treat my guns like they're my children. NO abuse, period....
I have an Uberti Cattleman II. After calling Taylor Firearms, I found the spring . It's a small coil spring. When I disassembled the gun the small rod in front of the spring fell out. I found it as it fell onto my mat.. Originally I didn't know where it went. I placed the small tiny rod and spring back in the gun and it runs like a Swiss watch !!!!
Thanks to all of you for your kind assistance and advice. Back to the range now
