I just picked up one of these little things used for $200. I just put 10 rounds of Winchester white box 38 special through it tonight. The last round ended up with a light primer strike, and did not fire. I loaded it back in the chamber, and it fired just fine.

The firing pin doesn't seem to have any tension holding it to the rear... Should there be a firing pin spring holding the firing pin to the rear?

Any help would be greatly appriciated,

Dave
