Hmmm... I went to the range today, and decided at the last minute to take along the Buckmark. My intention was to determine for sure the ratio of misfires (IIRC, last time I shot this pistol it was 1 misfire every 10 or 20 rounds). But today, out of about 100 rounds, there were no misfires. Just for the record, let me answer the obvious "are you sure it wasn't just bad ammo before?" question by mentioning again that this has been an ongoing problem since I first got the gun about 6 years ago, and I've tried many different brands and batches of ammo.
Anyway, at the suggestion of a gunsmith knowledgeable about Buckmarks whom I spoke with on the phone about a year ago, I did do a little work to the pistol since the last time I shot it, but when I saw the primer strikes appeared to be just as light as before, I didn't even bother taking it out to the range again, figuring the problem was still there.
And maybe it is still there... perhaps today I was just lucky (100 rounds isn't enough to prove conclusively that the problem is solved).
So, my original request still stands... I'd be very appreciative to see what the primer strikes of other Buckmarks look like.
