Hey there,
I have a really nice S&W 66-5 and have recently been experiencing some inconsistent mis fire issues. It is only occurring when I use the double action. If I single action, in other words draw the hammer back and then pull the trigger it functions just fins. I checked the main spring tension and its not the problem. Is it possible that the firing pin has worn down just enough to prevent enough impact in the double action mode? Or am I possibly seating my primers too deep for this particular revolver? I have not had any problem with the same loads being fired through my model 60 and have checked the extended pin on both which has determined that the M-66-5 doesn't strike as deep as the M-60 does. Ivery seldom shoot double action so never really had the opportunity to notice this problematic issue before now and I've been shooting this particular revolver for about 3 years.
Thanks
