Am I crazy? This is as far back as the hammer goes in DA. A video would be better but I couldn't get a file small enough to upload.

I will check them but I am running an old 550 reloader. Maybe I need to tighten up the shell plate.

I don't think they changed much but we could all see that their hammers were cocking back further in DA than mine.

Interesting. Did you ever figure out what was causing it?

Extended firing pin and RAMI spring.

Thanks for the replies. I thought about the primers not being seated properly. I don't think this is the issue. To Lightj75's point I tried multiple strikes in DA 3-4-5 times. No luck igniting them but I get 100% ignition in SA.

I have an accushadow that I decided to try the CGW reach reduction kit in. I got it installed without much trouble and it felt great with about a 6 ounce reduction in DA trigger pull weight. I'm running a 10 lb main spring. I noticed that the hammer doesn't seem to cock back as far with the CGW kit in DA it as it did with the original parts. I does drop fully. I took it to the range to function test and had many light strikes with CCI primers and no problems with Federal primers. The light strikes were only on the DA press. I took a look at some of my fellow competitor's guns with the CGW reach reduction kit at the last match and indeed their hammers are cocking back further in DA than mine does. I wouldn't care too much if I had an unlimited supply of Federal primers but these days who does? CCI for practice, Federal for matches. From what I can tell I need to delay the timing so that the DA press brings the hammer back further before the sear breaks and drops the hammer? My understanding is that I need to remove a very small amount of material from the bottom of the sear cage to make this happen? The DA press breaks very closely to where the single action press does. Maybe a a millimeter sooner but not by much. Sure, I could put a heavier mainspring in but that would kind of defeat the purpose. Just want to get some input from more knowledgeable folks before I do anything. Thanks!
