Frontier .357 magnum

<< < (6/6)

Froogal:
I removed the firing pin from the hammer, placed a "shim" into the hole and put the firing pin back in. Actually a bit more complicated than that, but it worked. Fired off 40 rounds without a hitch.

This is a really late reply; have been "gone" for a while.
I had basically the same problem with a Cimarron Pistolero model.  Talked with Cimarron and explained the base pin was "jumping" loose and working itself to the point where the cylinder wobbled.  And with some experiment I realized the pin just was being held firmly enough.  The pin have a smooth groove where the latch was supposed to hold.
Long story short; a NOTCHED base pin supplied by Cimarron fixed the problem.
Had lots of vibration with the 255 grain 45 Colt rounds, got some 185 grain and 200 grain and pistol shoots like it's supposed to shoot.

I've made some firing pins out of drill bits, turning the main pin would be a snap.

Money well spent. I plan on buying one myself, along with the table top milling machine to go along with it.

Sadly, the second time I took that pistol out it was right back to mis-firing. I parked it on a bottom shelf in the safe. Might mess with it again sometime, might not.
