I had an extra strain screw from a Smith & Wesson 686 that is a bit longer than the stock screw, and installed it on my governor. Went to the range today and shot 30 Long Colt and 30 ACP and they all shot perfectly. It appears that the strain screw and mainspring combo Smith puts in the revolver is borderline as far as go or no-go firing. I didn't get a chance to shoot any 410 shotshell out of it and maybe we'll attempt tomorrow to do that. This revolver has such a nice trigger on it and so easy to shoot accurately it is silly. Not really overly excited about the 45 ACP, but they do well enough out of this gun. If I loaded up for self-defense I will put in a couple rounds of 410 000 and the rest Long Colt.
