Narrative:
Arriving to ZZZ with an visual approach to [runway] xxc; the landing gear handle would not move to the down position. A go-around was performed; QRH executed with gear override trigger pulled; the gear handle still would not move down. One last try before a manual gear extension was accomplished; the gear handle was tried again with more force and the handle finally moved to the down position and a crosswind landing was made to [runway] xxr due to traffic. Fuel was 6.7 on approach and 4.7 after landing.
