[QUOTE="JWE, post: 857286, member: 4480"] One of my most embarrassing moments of my life happened like this. To cut the story short, here's probably the solution, if you shoot your wheel gun as much as I do On the cylinder, clean like crazy underneath the extractor. Don't just get a Q-Tip and wipe, I mean get a brush and scrub. After a good scrubbing it removes all the carbon build up, then wipe it out, down to the last smudge. Literally leave the area inspection ready. The way it was explained to me by an uncle who worked as a gunsmith for 40 years, was the carbon builds over time under the extractor in the cylinder and acts as a cushion, when the firing pin strikes the primer, resulting in a softened blow. Therefore that could explain, why some of the rounds didn't go off, but had an indention in them. Same thing happened to me on my S&W Mod 19 that's been worked up. After I did the mentioned cleaning, it worked great and I felt like a dumba$$. [/QUOTE]
