sig2009 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Started having this issue over the weekend with my 38 supr. With slide locked back. Load mag. Release slide with lever into battery the hammer moves from full cocked position to half cocked. When a round is fired chambers another round with the hammer again in half cocked position. Any ideas what is going on and who I can send this to for repair? Disassembled and cleaned and reassembled with same issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneelingatlas Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Sounds like a warn hammer, sear or both; how many rounds through it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pharoh Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 (edited) Sounds indeed like the hammer/sear might be worn. U could check the sear spring if its broken. The factory parts (if its an older pistol) are a softer metal so if the surface hardening is worn it would cause this issue. Best way to fix it so its safe would be a new hammer & sear. I would suggest the xtreme hammer from eric grauffel and a new tanfoglio sear (single action long sear, these are fully hardened, they are a gold'ish color) Edited July 28, 2014 by pharoh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just did a search and can't find these parts in the US anywhere. I see foreign websites only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pharoh Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 U can prob order it from eric grauffel directly, I always do for most of my parts. He ships pretty much around the world, im sure he ships to the states. Could send him a quick email to make sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleverUsername Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 If its a Gold Custom, why dont you go with an EGW hammer and sear. It would be better in your application being SAO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be better in your application being SAO. +1 on the EGW hammer, but if you do want to buy EG parts in the US, call Jim Bodkin in Texas.

sig2009 Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 (edited) Thanks guys! I see they sell the EGW hammer and the EAA Competition hammer. I should get the EGW? Also I only see the EAA sear. I don't see on their website the EGW sear other than their 1911 sear and BHP sear. Edited July 29, 2014 by sig2009 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerBaron Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 you can buy the EGW hammer and sear together as a package at henningshop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
