Hi,
Recently, I picked up a used 4-inch Dan Wesson .357 Mag (model 15 I think).
About two weeks ago, I fired a box of 50 FMJ Winchester (unsure 'bout bullet weight), SA/DA, no problem.
Today, I fired 50 rounds of .357 Mag (club reloads) and 50 rounds of .38 (reloads again).
About 50 percent of the time, firing double-action, the firing pin would leave a very shallow (well centered btw)
indentation on the primers, requiring a second or third double-action pull to ignite them.
This never happened in single-action, the clubs Ruger GP-100 fired them all without trouble.
The double-action pull is on the light side, could that have anything to do with the light strikes?
I am VERY new to revolvers, so anything I can do? Or just take it to a smith?
