My new (to me) S&W 65-6LS is experiencing intermittent light primer strikes.
The ammo used is Winchester USA 130gr .38spl.
According to Jim March's fine article, it checks out as fine.
The timing is dead on, the lock up is rock solid, the cylinder gap is .003in.
I'm not sure how many rounds are through it, and I'm wondering if it may not be time for a spring change!! The previous owner stated that he thought it had an action job. The trigger is pretty light and butter smooth, which I understand, is not always preferable in a combat arm!!
My thought is to replace the main spring, but I thought I should run it by you guys first.
If I do it, I'll let my gunsmith preform the surgery.
