I have a 2016 model S&W 586. It is a dream to shoot. I haven't done anything to it other than feed it lots and lots of .38spl and some .357mag.
The last two times I took it out to the range I have experienced light primer strikes that fail to ignite the primers of the factory new ammo (GECCO). I have fed plenty of this ammo through my 586, because it is some of the only fmj .38spl I have found and my indoor ranges require fmj.
The internet says I should tighten the hammer spring screw on the front of the grip, but that screw is TIGHT! I actually tried to snug it up and ended up breaking the bit! (cheap bit)
So, if that screw is tight and hasn't come loose, what else could be causing this?
