Good Evening,

I have a 22 WMR Mini with less than 100 rounds through. I pulled it out of my pocket holster, emptied the ammo, put the cylinder back in, and cycled the gun as a function check. The hammer was under tension, but the trigger wouldn't release the hammer.

I plan on sending it back in for repair, but was curious, so I popped the grips and sure enough, the mainspring was bent to around 160 degrees. I picked it up and with a gentle touch, the crease gave way.

Is there a tendency for main spring to fail, particularly with such a low round count? Or am i experiencing a rarity?

Thanks in Advance

Sometimes things just break and it's it hard to say what caused it.
But one nice thing is that NAA will fix it for you.
Welcome to the forum. :)

Thanks To Old and Uncle Lee, just trying to find out if this is more of a fluke or SOP.

Thanks again

  Think of it this way all the ammo your saving while its away at the shop . Looks like an older model .
TO ARMS , TO ARMS the liberal socialists are coming . Load and prime your weapons . Don't shoot till you see their UN patches or the Obama bumper stickers , literally . And shoot any politician that says he wants to help you or us .

White dot or tritium?  My Pug-T is in Utah currently getting some cylinders fitted.
And Hades followed with him...

White dot. Didn't​see the need for tritium. Maybe in the next one. ;)

I got bad eyes, and i figure the bad guys aren't going to quit working at dusk.  I might get a white dot ported one next go round.

After I get a bug out. And a Sheriff. And A Bw...

Wow! Shipped my MAG Monday for service and extra cylinder. Call came in today that it was shipping and I'd have it the coming Monday. Great Service!
