I've got an old 4 5/8" 45 long colt blackhawk. Plenty of cowboy rounds through it. I think it has a light strike problem.
I need to somehow make the firing pin strike harder.. (or is it needing to be longer). None of my other rugers do this. But this is the only 45 long colt I have and my sons like to shoot it a lot. So I guess I need to do something about it.
It is mostly ok, but has it's share of misfires. I'm sure it can mostly be blamed on me seating my primers plenty far in,..but like I said,..none of my other rugers (or non-rugers) have this problem and I always seat my primers in plenty far in regardless of what gun or caliber I may shoot it in.
Is there something I can do to rectify this problem.???? My kids like this gun the most (I am partial to my security sixes...but that might be because of the caliber..I donno) and when we go shooting that is all they want to shoot......and it's the only revolver I have that isn't running quite right, so to speak.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
