Striechers may be worth a call, as well as Gunstop.

Seriously call me and I will get you the parts you need (if they are actually needed..... for free) Don't pay to get it fixed or buy anything!

If you have time this morning I will be at Bills North store in Circle Pines with someone that can fix it. I'll be there from 9-11am or so. Give me a call.

Westberg....... Unholstered.com. I'm certain it's something simple, and gecko is a stand up guy. He will make it right.

I think PMC Bronze 55 gr is great ammo. I have never had a misfire.

My guess is the hammer spring. I'd recommend getting a new one.

I agree! :)
No not really!! Well I still havent gotten to go take it out shooting, but we checked the spring and its fine, and after a good cleaning and oiling she seems to be just fine. I am thinking thats all it needed! Thanks for the help, and on Saturday I will find out for sure. And thanks Brad for the help, and if theres any issues Saturday I will call ya and we can go from there!
