[QUOTE="Pulp, post: 1949515, member: 14195"] My brother, son, son-in-law and I all have a .22A. Mine started the FTF nonsense. After a lot of study on the gun, I realized the magazine disconnect safety device wasn't pushing far enough up to allow the hammer to reliably fall. Often it would fall far enough to dent the rim, but not fire it. I sent it to S&W, got it back about 4 months later, problem not solved and a new scratch on the bottom of the barrel. I tried to find a way to pin the disconnect bar up, failed at that. Two nights ago I put a small bead of JB Weld on the bottom of the magazine so the disconnect bar would have more to push against. I haven't fired it yet to see if it works, but it does work in dry fire mode. Take the grips off and you'll see how the disconnect bar works. Here's a short video of a delayed fire with my .22A. You'll hear the hammer fall, then a brief delay, then hear the shot. [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xK3jK5XL-BE[/url] [/QUOTE]
