So I had to take my 629 Mountain Gun back into the gunsmith who did the action job on it two years ago. I was starting to get light primer strikes when firing double action. They got more frequent and started occuring during single action fire as well.
My smith re-arched the mainspring said it did not hold its shape from when he performed the original action job. Now I'm asking myself, "Is bending a main spring really the best thing to do?" Especially on a defensive revoler? It just seams to me that with leaf springs, once it's bent, it's been weakened and will not want to hold its shape.
So am I over thinking this or not? Shoule I be replacing the mainspring with a standard Smith or possible reduced power Wolff?
Thanks in advance.
