Message: <blockquote data-quote="Shadowrider" data-source="post: 3937305" data-attributes="member: 3099">How old is it? Does it have a firing pin in the frame or on the hammer. Could well be a dirty or gummed up FP like retrieverman stated if it's frame mounted. The hammer nose FPs were pretty much no fuss but can break. Either way it's easy to fix a FP. I'd recommend an Apex carry duty kit that has an extended FP in it if you have the newer frame mounted pin. Cheap and easy fix even if you don't use the lightened springs.ETA: I see that you said 36-1 now. That should be an old school leaf mainspring (I think?) and hammer nose FP. Make sure the strain screw isn't back out. They are notorious for that. Use blue locktite on it.</blockquote>
