My revolver's trigger has a "sticky" issue that I can't figure out.

I've taken it apart and made sure no grease/oil was remaining. When I pull the trigger on a single action pull, the trigger sometimes stays back even when the hammer has fallen. I've never seen this before and I don't know what to do about it. Thoughts?

It may be the over travel screw needs to be adjusted. It's located either on the back if the trigger or in the frame behind the trigger. I had to adjust mine(on trigger) by unscrewing it to keep it from failing to return.

I agree with Stonebuster. Try this first. I've seen this problem several times and the fix has been to adjust the screw to keep the trigger from going too far to the rear.
