Default Master cylinder maybe

When I hit the brakes the truck initially pulls to the right but only for a second and the pedal goes more than half way down. If I let off the brake and immediately hit it again the pedal is up where it should be and I do not feel it pulling to the side anymore. Does this sound like the master cylinder?

Nope! One of the two slider pins on the driver side caliper was seized not allowing the caliper to slide back and forth.

Generally a pull will not be the MC-if it is bad either bad pedal pressure and no stopping . Pull is generally one side braking more than the other-either one side not working or one side too tight,binding,not releasing be it a caliper or drum.

The pedal going to the floor thing is what had me fooled.
