	I had a similar problem with one of the first Dan Wesson
 .44VH models.  Every so often a round would failure to fire due
to what looked like a light hammer fall.  I sent it into the factory
and they determined that there was improper headspacing (I didn't know
this could happen on a revolver!).  They fixed it and it's worked fine
ever since, although I don't shoot it much.

	Another problem you might be having is the primers.  A reloader
friend of mine told me that CCI primers are less sensitive than other
primers.  So a less-than-heavy hammer fall won't set them off.  This
has been my experience, it's something for you to consider.
