chetc Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 (edited) need some assistance, i have a new shadow 2, shot it for approx 800 rounds, no problems, i took it apart to clean up and polish some parts, i took .008 off the hooks, gun shoots a little erratic, i may shoot 10-15 rounds and then i get a hammer hang up, hammer falls forward about 1/4" or so, when i took the hooks down i kept the same angle of the flat on top of the hooks, so now that i removed .008 the flat is a bit longer, i did not do anything else, i am thinking i have to get back in there and shorten the flat, is it possible the sear is hanging up there, this only happens when i pull the trigger real slow aiming on paper targets, shooting fast is no problem. chet ps the sear is not catching anything, i thought it was, it is something else, if i pull real slow, not all the time but the hammer drops 1/4" the most, something else is causing the hangup, any ideas and i want to add that i did oil the internals kind of heavy, not sure that will kind of cause anything, update, notice when i pull the slide back ant pull the trigger it seems crisp on the drop, if i hold the trigger after i pull the trigger cock it, and let the trigger out till i hear the reset and pull the trigger the hammer does not drop as crisp.

WhiteDingo Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 It's entirely possible that your new hook height is causing the sear to hit the safety/half cock notch on the hammer. Similar to having an overtravel screw adjusted incorrectly. If you pull the trigger until the hammer just releases, and then manually lower the hammer, do you feel it catching a little on the stroke?

Similar to having an overtravel screw adjusted incorrectly. after observing what you said, it is a possibility, after dryfiring 100 times i cannot make it happen, if it is what you say, then the way out of this is to take down the hooks on the half cock a few thousands, is that correct If you pull the trigger until the hammer just releases, and then manually lower the hammer, do you feel it catching a little on the stroke?

WhiteDingo Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 With the slide off, can you duplicate the problem? Are you sure the gun is reassembled correctly? I'm not trying to be critical, but if something is not back together correctly, or say something is sticking out where it shouldn't be, that will cause issues.

chetc Posted May 16, 2019 Author Share Posted May 16, 2019 i will take the gun apart and check it over, took it out today, this issue happened 2 times out of 100 shots, now that i am concentrating on whats happening, when the trigger fails, seems as if when pulling the trigger the hammer falls forward and seems as if it is double action mode, i relax the trigger and the hammer goes forward i then let the trigger off and the hammer then clicks into the mode as if when i manually let the hammer down, it goes to about 1/8" away from the firing pin, if i pull the hammer back i can shoot the shot. chet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
