I have a model 52-2 about 30 yrs old, but in excellent condition. Unfortunately, I can shoot it very rarely, as 38s LWC ammo from the big 3 never seems to appear in the Chicago area, with Magtech being only available occasionally. Sellier & Bellot won't cycle half the time, and Fiocchi fails to cycle every time. (The spent casings do not clear the exit portal). Could it be that my recoil spring is becoming too stiff with age? I never had this problem years ago. Can anyone recommend a maker and source of LWCs with enough kick to cycle the gun's action properly?
Sadly, I cannot reload, as I now live in a condo building.
