Thanks for the insight guys. I'll do the apex extended firing pin with reduced power firing pin spring and see what happens. I'm hesitant to do the bobbed hammer because it mentions fitting/filing to get a good fit which I don't think I'm competent enough for.

That's a great looking piece you have there. I prefer to have a regular hammer because I do enjoy enjoy single action shooting at times. Can I assume that bobbing the hammer reduced its weight and lets it fly faster? Without that, do you think the extended firing pin alone would be enough in my situation?

Hi guys, I recently decided to try my hand at revolver competition shooting with a S&W 686 (357 magnum). To lighten up the stock 12 pound trigger pull, I installed a Wolff Spring pack consisting of a type-2 reduced power mainspring and a 15 pound reduced power rebound spring. This gave me a wonderful 6 to 7 pound pull but unfortunately I'm getting light strikes that result in about 25% of the rounds not igniting. I'm pretty set on using CCI Blazer aluminum 357 magnum ammo as it gives off a wonderful flash but barely makes minimum power factor from the 2.5" barrel. Using other factory ammo kind of defeats the purpose of shooting revolver for me (flash and bang is king), so what are my options here? Would the Apex XP Ignition kit with the longer firing pin take care of the light strikes or do I need to move to a different main spring/rebound spring with a bit more tension? Thanks for any assistance here.
