I`m not sure on the nomenclature so take it easy on me if I refer to things as doohickeys and widgets
As the title suggests, I`m getting light strikes on a pretty consistent basis, sometimes 1 round out of six, sometimes four. It tends to happen mostly in double action, rarely in single action.
The primers are getting hit, just not enough to set them off, I`ve tried with a batch loaded with federal primers as I hear they`re softer but it didn`t help.
Now when I drop the hammer and look at the gap from the cylinder to the firing pin, or nose, whatever its called, it looks to me like the firing pin isn`t long enough (I`ll post pics tonight) but that might just be wishful thinking from someone who doesn`t want to have to change out the springs on the sweet trigger job
I was thinking of putting a drop or two of JB weld on the time of the firing pin to make it a little longer and I was wondering if that a sure recipie for disaster and if I should just get a new firing pin thingy or a new mainspring.
