They don’t worry that much about it because they are pretty much selling everything they can make. I don’t agree with the philosophy but the proof is in the pudding. I’d love a 327 2”, just try and find a new one. Until they have guns piling up because people aren’t buying them, this will continue.

I believe rem oil took out the Teflon. It’s not on their label anymore and I thought I read a few years back they changed the formula and it no longer contain Teflon.

Thanks cal45. I was worried that the slightly longer cylinder might cause an issue.

Not to change the subject but what model is that for cal45? I called vedder about a light tuk for my m&p 340 and they said they didn’t make one for that model. Interesting.

Yes and no. I had light strikes a few years back. Bent the mainspring an little and it’s been fine. Last few months, been doing it again. Strain screw is tight. Looks more like the pic on the right. It hasn’t been ground on.

Thanks nightowl. I did that once nd it worked for a while. But then started light strikes again. It looked like an original spring so that would make it 76 years old. Who knows how many times it was bent before. I’ll keep shooting it and see how it goes over time. It’s tough with rimfire...

Yes on the clean internally. Did that about a month ago to check everything best I could. No pics. Didn’t have phone when it shot last. Hate carrying that darn thing.

I received the Wolff standard power mainspring. Also checked the strain screw. Looks untouched. After installing, I’ve shot about 100 mini mags so far. I’ve had 2 dead rounds. When looking at the unfixed case, I do see a good hit. They do fire with a second hit. Gonna put some more rounds...

Thanks. I was hoping that it was the same. I ordered one of the Wolff springs mentioned above. We’ll see if that does the trick.

I have a pre 17 that’s a great revolver. I am starting to get a few light strikes and would like to replace the mainspring. Does none know if any k frame mainspring will fit or is it a specific mainspring for this model? I called S&w and they punted and Sid they couldn’t say since the gun was...

I emailed remington a few months back about the lhp htp 158gr +p. I got this response... "Thank you for contacting Remington! We appreciate you taking the time to write in with your question. This ammo is not currently in production and I do not show that it is scheduled. Thank you!"

I have a fairly new 45 shield with about 700 rounds through it. I called s&w and asked to buy an assembly to have on hand. They sent me a new one free of charge. Give them a call. They are very generous with these.

Not by the one I bought a few weeks back. Put about 150 rounds through it and then the light strikes started. Worked great for the first 150 though. Can't abide a carry gun with light strikes and no bang every time. Gone already.

I'm in. Looks real nice!

Call s&w or go to midway or someplace like that and order them. They aren't very expensive.
