A couple of years ago I picked up a Model 64 Smith and Wesson that was a Dept of Corrections trade in. I love shooting it but a couple of months back I began getting light primer strikes that would not go off. No problem, I put a new Wolff Main Spring and 15 lb rebound spring. Unfortunately the problem persisted. Then it hit me that the problem began about the time that I began using Remington Small Pistol Primers. So I tried 100 rounds of Monarch ammo and that seemed to rectify the problem. The Monarch gave me no issues whatsoever. However, the ammo with the Remington primers cannot very often get through a cylinder without getting a light primer strike. Then I tried 150 rounds of ammo with CCI primers and experienced no issues, except for the last cylinder full. You guessed it, a light primer strike!
What else may be wrong with it? I have historically not been a revolver guy but have really enjoyed shooting this ugly old revolver.
