Total newb question ... don't shims also cause friction resulting in slowing the hammer and potentially causing light strikes?
Is it that the shim causes less friction than the hammer rubbing against the frame, so the hammer isn't slowed enough to matter?
Follow up question. Are shims available in materials that help to reduce friction or do gunsmiths fabricate them from materials that are known to cause less friction.
Follow up question to the follow up question. Am I just over thinking this issue?
