I just picked up one of these little things used for $200. I just put 10 rounds of Winchester white box 38 special through it tonight. The last round ended up with a light primer strike, and did not fire. I loaded it back in the chamber, and it fired just fine.

The firing pin doesn't seem to have any tension holding it to the rear... Should there be a firing pin spring holding the firing pin to the rear?

Any help would be greatly appriciated,

Dave

I don't think so, but you might want to ask here:

"The last round ended up with a light primer strike, and did not fire."

The light strike could be caused by crud around the firing pin, a weak main spring, a burr on the firing pin, etc.

If it keeps happening (and you're unable to correct it yourself) this guy is great at working on the Rossi:

Thanks for the help and advice. I'll break it down, clean it, and check for burrs. If it still has problems, I'll contact the smith.

Thanks!
