I've been shooting a Pietta '51 navy for a couple years. My understanding is that the wedge is supposed to be a snug fit not a tight fit. Tap it in with a small hammer or the end of your knife. I describe the wedge as disposable, meaning it is designed to fail so that the pistol is not damaged. The push/pull of firing the pistol will naturally damage the wedge after time. My question is, am I correct? Please let me know, my goal is to learn and enjoy this sport.
