Finally took my single action Uberti 22 mag to the range this morning. It shot 22 LR without any issues. Very accurate and nice to shoot.
Then I switched to the 22 magnum cylinder. And holy hell...on average, only 2 of the 6 rounds would fire on the first strike every single time I loaded it. I would have to cycle through and strike each round several times before they ignited. I was using brand new CCI maxi mag rounds..supposedly very reliable. And it was the first time I have ever fired the gun, so no accumulation of grit can explain it either.
Based on what I googled, it seems the problem can be a weak trigger spring, or that the cylinder itself is moving forwards a little bit when the pin strikes, absorbing some of that force.
Any advice from the more informed/experienced men and women here? I'd really appreciate it...hope this gun isn't a lemon.
