Re: Trigger responds fully w/ Dummy Round, but not LIVE Ammo

JAGGUY --- Greg! I tried the filing method, a little at home, and took it to the range this morning. No change. So, I did some more filing at the range. No change. However, I did notice something. First, I must tell you I shoot left-handed. Okay, when attempting to fire a chambered round, and not ha...

Thank you for the steps to place a picture into a reply.

I will get a camera, and take a picture set of what I found trying to solve my pistol problem.

Re: Trigger responds fully w/ Dummy Round, but not LIVE Ammo

Greg!

You are awesome. I am a newbie for this firearm, but the help you give me (and others get from members here) is why I made the purchase of a P64 -- and had (4) friends get them, too.

The picture is great!

How do I add a picture to a reply on this site?

Peter ;-)

Re: Trigger responds fully w/ Dummy Round, but not LIVE Ammo

JAGGUY ---

Perfect explanation. I forgot about reloading!

I have a question -- which part gets "filed" where they touch?

I wish I could share a picture with you.

Re: Trigger responds fully w/ Dummy Round, but not LIVE Ammo

JAGGUY --- Thank you. I looked up the part. I see where it is, so I'll look at the movement of mine vs. the wife's pistol, to see if I understand where you are directing me to use the fine file, a little at a time. You mentioned you made a dummy round out of an unfired round? Did I miss something th...

Re: Trigger responds fully w/ Dummy Round, but not LIVE Ammo

Okay, guys -- I went (finally) back to the range, after the chamber-cleaning procedure with Denatured Alcohol. I also watched the Trigger Bar movement when the Safety is engaged, and disengaged. [I want to include one event while I was observing, disassembling, lubing, testing. The Trigger Bar retur...

Re: Trigger responds fully w/ Dummy Round, but not LIVE Ammo

Clean the gun well if you have not. Check the condition of your springs. Your trigger spring inside the frame by not be allowing the trigger bar to engage the hammer spur deal when trying DA. As far as the dummy round working, I'm not sure. If it worked one day, but not today, then it's possible th...

Trigger responds fully w/ Dummy Round, but not LIVE Ammo

I am a new owner. I read this forum months before buying, which convinced me to buy my own P-64. In fact, I got the wife and 3 other friends to buy them, too. Here is my range report. Shot (2) magazines, no problems. I was SO happy with the accuracy, I stopped while I was ahead. Went to the range wi...
