The other day I was over at Judge Bill Clark's ranch (Judge Clark was Reagan's Secretary of the Interior in the first term, National Security Advisor for the second. He's been through some pretty cool stuff, like Russian terrorists bugged his house once, and Saddam Hussein gave him a Beretta M92! Seriously, he still has it.) He's my friend's grandpa, so we sometimes visit the ranch when my friend's in the PRK. Anyway, we were shooting some cans with my Browning Buckmark, and at first it worked okay, but then it got to BANG!, click, wait 30 seconds, remove magazine, eject round, feed new round into chamber, BANG!, click, wait 30 seconds, remove magazine, eject round, feed new round into chamber, BANG!, click, wait 30 seconds, remove magazine, eject round, feed new round into chamber, and so on. We were using Federal American Eagle ammo, which always works for me. I looked at the cartridge, and the firing pin struck too high! I don't know why it fired the first time and not the second, but hey, it did that every single time. I have no idea why the firing pin is striking too high, especially because it doesn't do it the first round, but it does on the second one. Can anyone determine what is causing this?
