[QUOTE="gerhard1, post: 3093252, member: 5391"] All of the shots yesterday were DA with the single exception of one round where it attempted twice, in DA neither time igniting, so SA was tried and then it discharged. I also note that in the earlier sessions when I fired SA all of them fired. This is not a problem with my 610, or my 625 or my model 22 (Model of 1950 4") or my other Model 22 (Model of 1950 Army 5 1/2") although in all honesty, the 1950 Army, gave my gunsmith a very big headache as it had the same problem that my 986 has. We finally solved it by a heavier mainspring and the use of Federal primers in all rounds. Anyway, today is Federal day at my range, and I will attempt to shoot 21 7-round moon clips (147 rounds) and if there are no light strikes try it with another batch and so on. If that works, the problem will have been solved: all I need do in the future is use Federal stuff. I will still contact S&W however and let them know about it. If there are any misfires, I'll contact Customer Service at SS&W and see what they say. [/QUOTE]
