Revolver doesn't strike primer with enough force

S&W revolver, light primer strike... First thing to check is the main spring tension screw; tighten that up and see if it will improve... I would not send the gun away before checking this.

Ummm...

Strain screw? It's the first thing I check on a revolver.

P.S. Stop buying guns from that place.

You still haven't tried tightening the strain screw? It literally take 2 minutes to check and tighten

If the strain screw backing out is your problem than a touch of blue loctite on the threads is your solution.

Okay I drove to the hardware store and picked up a 3/32 Hex wrench.
That got the grips off for me.

No-go on the straining screw. Its a tight as its going to go by hand. Any tighter and I'll probably strip the threading
