I now own a S&W Model 25-2 in .45 Colt with the hammer nose firing pin. Both SA and DA operation feel smooth and normal. Primer strikes in DA operation are nicely centered and appear to be of normal depth. SA strikes are sufficiently off-center the revolver generally fails to fire SA, and some are so far off as to hit the cartridge head.
I described the problem by email to S&W customer service. It diagnosed the cause as a loosened strain screw. The screw appeared tight on my exam, but I backed it out, added lock-tite, and cranked it in as far as it would go.
To the range, but still no joy in SA function. I would appreciate your expert advice on diagnosis/repair.
