I finally got around to looking at the pistol to try to figure out what's happening. I took all kinds of measurements with feeler gauges and digital calipers. It looks like the hammer protrudes into the primer far enough to fire the round. And then I found... some wear marks on one side of the hammer. And it looks like the hammer doesn't sit in the middle of the slot it is supposed to sit in the middle of. I think the hammer is making contact with the frame as it heads toward the primer and is slowed down enough by the impact/side scraping that it loses some speed and hits the primer too lightly. So I found a flat file small enough to fit in the groove and widened it by .002 or .003" and it shoots fine now. Can't even tell it was modified. I'm guessing the hammer pivot pin is a little crooked.

While I agree that NJ is an oppressive state, and the Gov is a commie, if you had told me 3 years ago that you actually COULD get a LTC in NJ, I would have called you crazy. The good citizens of NJ have won a major battle for gun rights. Now that y’all have momentum, keep fighting. Harder. Giving up isn’t an option. Keep fighting.

This is what every gun group / gun store should be concentrating on. currently, we are all waiting crossing our fingers that the 3rd circuit undoes the rest of the carry killer bill, why are we waiting? make a plan and attack already, stop acting like republicans. step 1, compile a list of the most egregious 2A laws that are unconstitutional. state and federal the one I would like to see go first is "duty to inform" just because an american citizen chooses to exercise his/hers 2A right should not force them to surrender their 5th and 4th. my second one is sound suppressors. attack attack attack the ball should be in our court with the Bruen decision, deciding a 2A case now is, history, text and tradition. most everything we need has already been used in other legal victory's so it shouldn't cost a boat load of money.

More winning! Not getting tired of it yet! Maryland's Handgun Qualification License struck down. Among the requirements were "Getting that license requires, among other things, submitting fingerprints to undergo a background investigation and taking a four-hour-long firearms safety training course in which you must fire at least one live round." Sound familiar? Make New Jersey America Again!! Let's get copycat lawsuits going! https://www.foxnews.com/us/nra-praises-court-order-striking-down-draconian-blue-states-handgun-law

Years ago you were removed from civilized society if you couldn't abide by the law. They sent posses out to find you. We need to bring that back. Catch and release isn't working. No bail isn't working. Actually, NOTHING that the Democrats have done is working. Nothing is built, nothing is back, and nothing is better.

This is perhaps an example of a modern day problem that didn't exist at the time of the founding. If someone was a dangerous, violent felon, they were hanged, not released back into the community.

Unfortunately I'm a Canon guy LOL. Good luck with the sale though. Have you tried any photography sites like the forums over at Digital Photography Review or one of the lens rental companies to see if they buy used lens (I think Borrowlenses.com bought used lenses)?

In my direct experience with friends, relatives and acquaintances, their aversion towards firearms is born completely out of fear. A fear curated by the Marxist media and body politic at every opportunity. And those same people usually have no mindset to challenge, confront and overcome their fears about anything. My attempts to lift them out of the pit have never worked. It does however work both ways. Witness Jews afraid of guns now clamoring to buy them because they're MORE afraid of being beaten, kidnapped, killed, or worse. Here's one classic exchange I had: "I wouldn't trust myself with a gun." "Would you trust yourself with a cellphone and a car?"
