Took my PA 63 apart to clean it now the decocker is actin up

Post by jamminjon »

I have a PA-63 that will not allow the decocker to engage. It just will not let you thumb down the thing. Never had this problem before. Anyone have any advice? If I pull the hammer back just a hair and push down on the decocker it works fine. I'm at a loss.

Just a shot in the dark, but did you replace the hammer spring on it? Wondering if there's somehow too much tension on the spring. Also, this should probably be in the "Other 9X18s" section. May find more knowledgeable people there.
