It functions flawlessly now. I just can't get used to the lightness of that single action trigger...I blame the gun.
P.S. I also give it credit when it decides its going to behave and shoot where I tell it to.

The hammer wasn't hitting the primers hard enough. I thought it might have been the trigger job my brother did to it. Upon tightening the strain screw, it functioned flawlessly (now through about 400 arounds). I am going to loosen it just a touch before I take it to the range every time. When I get a failure to fire, I will give it a slight tightening and leave it.

How do you plan to make sure the strain screw remains in the same position? Maybe some of that "not too permanent" Loc-Tight, or is the stran screw pretty secure?

Its a pretty solid fit and I kind of assumed it would stay in place, but you raise a good point. Loc-tight wouldn't be a bad idea.

Hand strength and practice will more than make up for any heaviness that a properly set strain screw can make.........
Reliability above all, I would put the strain screw right back where it was when the gun came out of the box.

Got that right: don't screw with the strain screw! The loudest sound you'll eveer hear in a
high stress situatuion (gun fight) is click.....
