I bought the new re-introduced 610 4in barrel to use in competition. When I first got the revolver, I had difficulty with opening the cylinder. It appeared something was catching. It turned out to be a loose extractor rod, not tighten to 45in-lbs? tightening up fixed that problem.

Next I normally set my trigger pulls to 8lbs. Factory tested out to be 10-11lbs. When I set the trigger pull, I normally put in Jerry Miculek's spring kit in ( main & rebound springs). I have done this with my 686's and 625(-3, -8)'s yrs ago and have used those models successfully at championships.

However, after the spring mod, set trigger pull, I was getting light strikes to which I had never gotten before with the other models. I thought to try an extended firing pin from TK Custom along with their moonclips thinking that maybe monnclips were an issue and to be sure in regards to the firing pin length.

I marked a specific cylinder and a specific cartridge to test which cylinder(s) were getting light strikes. Was it all over the place, or was the light strikes on a specific chamber(s). It turned out to be one specific chamber.

I sent the revolver back to the factory and they indicated back they replaced the main spring, rebound spring, and firing pin spring, and corrected end shake. Not too sure why all those springs would be replaced since they were all new and from well known sources. The end shake correction was an interesting point.

I have not gotten the revolver back yet to retest, but has anyone had this problem before? Would the end shake correction fix this specific chamber light strike?
