    I highly recommend Karl Sokol for old and new Smith work.

    I cleaned it up from the other day and it's definitely skipping nearly every DA pull.

    I did notice a little bit to much grease on and around the cylinder stop spring when I took the side plate off. I'm wondering if that's part of the problem. Its just so consistent I'm not sure that could be it.

    I might try a new hand

    Id strongly suggest trying no grease, just oil on that spring or the locking bolt. All it needs to skip when fired faster is a little less or slower push on the spring.


    I dont think the hand would influence the locking bolt timing like this.

    Let us know if it makes any difference.

    The locking bolt springs arent really very perky.

    Especially when you’re all thumbs.

    There’s a bunch of cylinder-stop springs hiding somewhere in my shop.

    Nope. This spring is about as perky as I've ever seen. Nice and clean and still skipping.

    Well heck.

    Does the locking bolt fit cleanly into the notches in the cylinder when its apart? I think Ive had it happen once long ago, the bolt wouldnt bottom out in the notch. Mine wasnt skipping like yours but it was able to turn backwards after cycling with little effort.

    Does the bolt move freely in the frame? Like pushing in or down with your finger theres no hangups and drag? You can watch it cycle with the cylinder out by pushing the thumbpiece backwards and holding it.

    No such animal for a K-frame, though I wish there were.
