I bought a used S&W mod 19 last week that locks up tight and, though it has a lot of holster wear, doesn't appear abused. After shooting 150 .38 reloads I've had 2 light primer hits. The rounds fired with a second strike. I'm sure this is not ammo related as I've shot about 800 rounds from this batch with no problems.
The trigger pull seems normal, not overly light. The strain screw is unaltered and the "inerds" appear factory correct although all I've done so far is take off the side plate and work the action. The firing pin looks OK.
Anyway, where do I start to diagnose the problem. Rebound spring? Try a new hammer spring (don't have one on hand, I'd have to get one from Brownells)? HELP!
