However a too tight or rough chamber can also "grab" the case and prevent it moving. There are times figuring out why a specific gun is miss-behaving is alot like figuring out what your Wife really wants The most difficult part, she will swear that you already know the answer and you may not have a clue.

Frontier Lone Rider Posted August 3 Author Share Posted August 3 The reason I hesitate to just add more powder, is you may just be treating a symptom, but not correcting the actual root cause. It is like firearm manufactures using over strong springs rather than smoothing an action. If the issue is one of the described possibilities listed above, I won't know until a tried-and-true gunsmith checks out the firearm. Even though Coffinmaker is retired, he has agreed to take a look at this firearm. I just want to know for sure what is the issue and how to I fix it. He is definitely more knowledgeable and wiser than I in these matters. I am keeping my fingers crossed. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex Jones, SASS 2263 Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 (edited) Just for laughs, take out the cylinder and press against the firing pin bushing with a thin screwdriver. I did that with mine and the bushing moved with just a little pressure. In my case it was obvious before I did that because the bushing was below flush on the recoil plate.

Bailey Creek,5759 Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 Try a cylinder swap. Take a cylinder from one of your other pistols put it in that pistol. Shoot it, see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
