Hi gang,
I just went to the range and shot some .38 reloads I made. I had about 8 failures to fire in 50 rounds. They failed to fire on the first strike double action. About 1/2 failed to fire on another pass. I finally got them all to go off using single action.
I'm guessing this is due to my hammer spring being weak. Do you think so? Any idea what else might be causing a problem? This is a second hand (at least) gun so I don't know how old the springs are.
I imagine they are a pain to fix. Not like an auto which is easy.
