"Sticky" shutter release on R-D1, is it normal?

Hi, I just bought a used Epson R-D1. It´s one year old according to the reciept. The shutter button needs a really hard press before it moves, even if the shutter isn´t cocked. When I press the shutter a few times it loosens up, but if I put down the camera and takes it up a couple minutes later, it´s back to sticky.

Is this normal behaviour? The "problem" seems to be mechanical, I´m really happy I finally found a R-D1 in my area (Norway), but I´m afraid to loose shots because the shutter release will not move fast enough in snapshot situations.

Hope to hear your thoughts on this.
