asimonp79 Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Hello guys I have seen a shadow in my club that behaves strangly It is regular ( not conversion to SA only) Shadow SP01 At SA when you slightly pres the trigger the hammer goes back and then falls to " half cock" What could be the issue? I even found youtube video of someone. Perhaps from this forum? Anyway what could be an issue? I replaced hammer ,connector and sear as a set from brand new ( never used) - didn't help Didn't replace sear cage ( ejector) Thank you kindly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFP4073 Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 check to see if the sear cage has excessive play up and down toward the rear end of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneBray Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I think the problem is with the trigger bar and/or trigger bar spring. Make sure the trigger bar is not binding and moves smoothly. Increase the upward pressure on the trigger bar by the trigger bar spring. Also, it is possible for one of the two arms of the trigger bar spring to slip off the trigger bar. I think what is happening is the lack of pressure on the trigger bar by the trigger bar springs allow the trigger bar to not engage the sear mechanism with enough pressure and when you pull the trigger the trigger bar slips off the sear mechanism with proper sear disengagement.

asimonp79 Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share Posted April 2, 2013 MFP4073- I have replaced searcage with sear as a set from working shadow. Still the problem remains the sear cage at the rear side has no "excessive play up and down" - the regular one the only thing that I didn't replace is a trigger bar- the gun made 700 rounds at most Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mentioned the cage because my pistol was dropping to half cock position when I would pull the trigger very slowly in SA mode. It turned out the cage was moving up and down in the back so much it would let the hammer go. I sent it back to CZC and they tightened it up by peening the sear cage "forks" that go under the frame lip so it could not move up an down any more. That solved my problem several thousand rounds ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmeky Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 That's very obvious. The timing is off. Send me an e-mail and I'll send you a pic that will illustrate how to fix this. cajungunworks@gmail.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eerw Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Good deal. David is great people. Was it the disconnector timing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkMcArthur Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Mine was doing the same thing. Was driving me crazy. Thought it may of been the set screw in the trigger. When I found out it wasn't that I gave it to my boss Mink. He fixed it in like 5 minutes. Now it's flawless!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schmeky Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Stuart, Yes, a simple disconnector timing issue, about 1-2 minutes to correct it once access to the disconnector is gained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
