I've had this gun for >50 years and in recent years (10 years or so) it progressively has gotten worse with misfiring. Yesterday it misfired about 2 or 3 times per magazine. Sometimes I could recock and it would fire and sometimes it would not. Comparing the firing pin imprint with my friend's who was shooting a S&W Model 41 it appears that my firing pin is striking deep enough but just too close to the edge of the casing. My friends is maybe striking .020" more toward the center of the cartridge. We were both shooting the same ammunition from the same box. I keep the hammer down when stored and I did a through disassembly and cleaning of the slide about a year ago. Suggestions please.
