Are the light strikes dependent on which moonclip you're using? I prefer the polymer Rimz in my 610, although every now and then I've had a light strike in those as well when I'm shooting 40S&W, which doesn't happen with 10 mm rounds just shoved into the cylinder.

I appreciate the reply. I am sorely tempted and will probably get one. I wish they had the option for a stainless cylinder, which I think looks nicer and can also be scrubbed the normal way. Thanks!

I am dreaming about one of the new 986 revolvers, probably the snubby 2.5 inch. I have plenty of both lead and coated lead rounds made up, mostly 124 gr, and I was curious about how these would fare out of the titanium cylinder? I've read various things about only using 147 gr loads (maybe in...

No, I've got Double Tap and Buffalo Bore for carry, the other stuff is for practice at the range...

Fixed. Second time is a charm, they changed the trigger bar and now it works perfectly, same ammo. 200 rounds bang in a row. Back in the holster :)

That would come from the factory in my garage. CCI SP primers, roll sized brass, everything fed beautifully. Just the click instead of bang... I was thinking that, but I've been reloading for many, many years, and never had issues like this. Some FTF in the past (hence the rollsizer which is...

And problems continue...several light strikes at the range. It's fresh ammo, they lit off the second time around, but click instead of bang is just unacceptable. I already entered another message at S&W, so it needs to go back again... :(

It returned today, the factory reported "Repair trigger" and "Passed Range testing." No other information on what happened or why... How many trouble free rounds would you want through the gun and magazine before returning it to EDC?

Still at the mothership for repair, no word yet...

I was shooting my EDC and I started getting light strikes and the gun not firing. I field stripped it and out it back together, and the problem continued. I then took out the striker to clean it and check the channel, a little dirty, but no obvious problems. Then I had difficulty...

Thanks for the info, I plan on ordering those Dawson non-cowitness core sights. I wish S&W was more explicit about these things, but the info is much appreciated.

I was perusing the out of stock offerings, and noticed that there are two different 500 snubbies, one with the compensator, the other without. I'm curious to hear from people who have shot either of these, and the pros and cons. I find cleaning the compensator on my 10.5" 500 irritating, and I...

I was using the Lyman cast manual 4th Ed page 262, which lists Power Pistol 6.3-7.0 gr for the Lyman 150 gr SWC bullet, max 1112 at 23,000 CUP. They also list Bullseye at 6.0 grains for a max of 1202, which seems odd, since usually Power Pistol yields higher velocities. I guess I can play...

It was the moonclips, I've fired hundreds of the same rounds in my M&P40 and they all go off fine. The 10mm loads also work fine. The other day I still had one FTF from a light strike on a 40, but none on the 10s...

The grip is broken, the rubber fell apart!
