spook Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 OK, this has happened three times in a row now. This time is even "funnier". Just got the Miculek tapes. Revolver Assemby/Disassembly. I take of the side plate of my 625 and notice my trigger can move and so can the pin that holds it to the frame. It's friggin'broken! I have a match in two days! My smith is a great guy, and he has helped me out every single time, but I wonder if he can fix this. Fortunately I have a second 625 that he's working on at the moment, but I never fired a single round with that thing. I am sooo pissed right now. I think I'll buy a Glock 17 and start competing in production or something. Just buy a gun that doesn't break. Or at least is easy to fix when broken. Dammit this sucks!

Loves2Shoot Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 Why get it fixed autos are so much more fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spook Posted April 18, 2003 Author Share Posted April 18, 2003 Yeah, but I thought revolvers were "indestructible". The perfect situation for me would be to have ONE gun, that fits ONE IPSC discipline and that one gun should be indistructible. I know, utopia.....

George D Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 Spook, Don't despair. You've just had a run of bad luck. When both your 625's are fixed you may not have another problem for a very long time. Just take a look in the Glock forum if you think they don't have the occassional(?) problem.

spook Posted April 19, 2003 Author Share Posted April 19, 2003 Yeah, guess you're right. I already decided I need another 625, just to make sure I don't run into thes problems again. Revolvers are great. BTW, it was broken because I dry fire it so much, according to my smith. He's going to fix it today. Great guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tightloop Posted April 19, 2003 Share Posted April 19, 2003 If you get a Glock, you will have to learn how to spell KABOOM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A33435 Posted April 20, 2003 Share Posted April 20, 2003 Yes tightloop, therefore i just got my 3rd glock, in .40 with stock barrel, but i still can not spell it. And don't know how it sounds or looks. My first worths were RELOAD WELL and i never came further. Adrie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul B Posted April 20, 2003 Share Posted April 20, 2003 Don't worry too much about the broken trigger pin. I had it happen to me with a model 19 a while ago, and it was fixed fairy easily by my gunsmith. I believe he drilled the old pin and replaced it. It still works. Glocks break also.

A33435 Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 Hi Spook, I think you contamined me with the virus that causes guns to break few days for a match. Just yesterday at the range my skeletonized firing pin broke And you weren't even there..... The only replacement i have is the stock fring pin. Now my trigger isn't what it used to be and i am used to There's a good chance that i'll have the right replacement before we go to Vienna next thursday but saturday and sunday i'll have to shoot with my stock firing pin.
