    Light strikes not fixed by extended firing pin— gun or ammo?

    I appreciate your taking the time to let me know about your similar experience. I’m sure my gunsmith replaced the spring, but I ordered a 9lb spring to try. I’m of the same mind regarding ammunition compatibility, particularly as a cheap Taurus or Ruger LCR will fire any Black Hills one is...

    432 UC Anyone having good luck

    Mine has light strikes even with an extended firing pin and factory hammer spring. I am extremely disappointed as otherwise like the gun, but I cannot carry it like this.

I did notice that most of these services are either unnecessary or do not apply to my revolver-- this was the only action work package listed on their website. I had intended to call them to ask about modifying the service (I would really only like a...

    J frame gunsmith for reliability and trigger job, please take a look at my options

    Hello, I am not a revolver guy, and am coming to this forum seeking wisdom from those with experience. I've spent the past 15 years maintaining and selling rifles, and while I carried a Beretta in Afghanistan, I have never fired a handgun in anger. Unfortunately, crime has spiked in my area...
