After installing a Wolff spring in my Ruger Redhawk I was having the occasional light primer strike with CCI primers. I was going to purchase an extended firing pin, but after researching the issue a bit more I decided to order shims from Lance Shively at Triggershims.com. My hammer had marks on it from contacting the frame so I knew there was interference. I ordered trigger, hammer dog, and hammer shims. It took me a couple of attempts to get the trigger shims in place, but I was successful. The hammer and hammer dog shims were pretty easily done.
Yesterday I went through a box of 50 rounds, all double action, without one light primer strike. I don't have a trigger gauge to know what the before and after pull was, but I'm very happy to return the reliability back to the Redhawk. I also did my GP100, looking forward to its next range trip!
