CCI #10's are basically the smallest caps on the market.
I also found that the CCI #11's have thicker walls which makes them somewhat harder to squeeze to fit factory nipples verses Remington #11's.
Nipples can be dressed with emery cloth to help them fit the CCI #10's better but then the nipples may become too small to fit other brands of caps.

It could also have a weak mainspring but that's doubtful. If it were weak then that could be addressed by inserting a wedge between it and the frame.
But the hammer notch does not usually need to be filled in unless the caps are getting blasted back into its recess, then getting stuck and/or repeatedly falling into the action.
Any #11 caps would probably work better by squeezing them to fit if necessary.
