I just got a new to me 30 30 contender pistol. I have only fired about 14 rounds of Winchester 150 gr power points thru it so far.

I have had two failures to fire caused by light strikes. After reclosing the chamber firmly the gun fired both times. I will be shooting it again this afternoon and plan to close it firmly each time to see if that makes a difference.

What could cause this? Is it a problem with the barrel or a problem with the frame. I have another contender with a 223 barrel that has never had this problem. If I put the 30 30 barrel on that frame would that fix the problem?

I know there are a lot of guys here that have a lot of experience with contenders so I am asking you to share you knowledge with me on this problem.

This gun does have a very light trigger. Is there a chance that it needs to be adjusted?
