I've got an old SxS shotgun that's exhibiting light primer strike issues. Any suggestions where to take it?

Keep it away from Driving Nails, as tempting as it may be they are royal jackasses and will undoubtedly make it worse. idk if Pockrus is still around but he worked on my last beretta

ADM gun and rifle makers in Southlake just had them go through my Beretta 690 done a great job at a reasonable price.

I had my grandfathers old Winchester 1897 worked on last year. Gun was missing some parts & needed major work. Gene Williams in Princeton (NE of metroplex) did a great job & even had to make a couple of the parts to get it in working condition. Would highly recommend him again. He is a gunsmith & machinist. 214-673-5510

Another suggestion would be Briley in Houston. I have work done 3 times done on various guns by them, and I have been well pleased each time.
Luck favors the prepared mind.

Phillip Crenweige in Quitman. Former head gunsmith for Krieghoff 210-313-5988.. maybe Don Rackley in Heath but he really specializes on Perazzi.
Gordy's in Houston is Purdey authorized dealer and gunsmith services.

Willoby McCabe in Albany.
Mac may be the best gunsmith in the state for old guns. He specializes in SxS shotguns.
