NMBOpen Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Have to manually cycle the slide, and it ejects a live round. Trigger not resetting? What else to look for? 38 Super 147gr Montana Gold, VV N350 making 1150 fps, 169pf. No luck with search for "single shot". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mro111lland Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Sounds like hammer follow possibly weak sear spring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMBOpen Posted May 18, 2017 Author Share Posted May 18, 2017 Hammer follow not the problem, it was at full cock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Service Desk Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Has anyone recently adjusted the trigger? If so make sure there is some overtravel and that the disconnector moves freely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMBOpen Posted May 18, 2017 Author Share Posted May 18, 2017 Completely disassembled, cleaned, and reassembled lower. No adjustments made - functioned OK in dry fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niroth81 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Turn your over travel screw out a few turns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgj3 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Was it reassembled properly? Legs of sear spring in correct positions? Disconnector in correct orientation related to sear and trigger bow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMBOpen Posted May 19, 2017 Author Share Posted May 19, 2017 I believe so, the single shot is intermittent. Going to try overtravel adjustment suggested above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niroth81 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 I've had this issue where the overtravel screw too close to the limits. Doesn't happen in dry fire. Recoil of the gun has an impact and is intermittent. When you set your overtravel screw, with the trigger pressed raise and lower the hammer to make sure it isn't catching on the sear with the trigger pulled. Then give it an 1/8 turn further out to make sure it has enough clearance without cause issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMBOpen Posted May 19, 2017 Author Share Posted May 19, 2017 (edited) Just back from a test session. Backing the overtravel screw out (counterclockwise from muzzle) made it worse - single shot or light strike. Turned screw in to undo that adjustment, plus an additional fraction of a turn, cleared the problem for me.

JAF1680 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 If the trigger is going too far into the frame it might be getting stuck in the frame. Had this problem when I swapped triggers recently. I cleaned the back part of the frame where the trigger rides and polished both of the back corners of the outside of the trigger bow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
