I was at the range today plinking around with 38 spl reloads with an el cheapo Taurus model 80. I noticed that it would suddenly light primer strike FTF on double action, but would work flawlessly on single action. Could it be from the primers? The primers are seated flush and are not depressed too deep.
I didn't really pay much attention to it, but I recently started using CCI small pistol primers and I heard these primers have hard/thick primer cups.
Before, I reloaded with federal small pistol primers, which are supposedly the softest of the small pistol primers vs. other brands. From what i recall, these worked flawlessly on both double action/single action on the same gun.
I got a bunch of previous reloads stored up loaded with federal small pistol primers instead of CCI, so i'll report back with an update if it's actually the primers.
Best case scenerio, it's not the gun as I can live with reserving federal/similar soft pistol primers for revolvers. Anyone else have this issue before?
