If you want it to go click, and then work, the easiest thing would be to make it a revolver.

It was going to be a revolver (Smith & Wesson), so it sounds like I was sort of on the right track.

If the gun and ammunition were kept in a cool, dry place (say a bedroom closet), I would expect it to fire with no problems

Yes, that's kind of where it was being stored (behind a wall - presumably where it wouldn't be exposed to humidity, not counting the climate of the area).

to further the plot i would mention it had round or ball ammo.this older ammo was all that was available back then and not the expanding type hollow points or soft points like today.

Does this mean that the ammo itself (from back in the 30s/40s) would have less of a chance to go bad then? So my "click", "click", "click", BOOM scenario definitely wouldn't be as feasible with this type of ammo?
Except if the cylinder was only partially loaded ...
