trigger guard spring

[blinddog]

I am sure this has been gone over before but I can't find it. I am having a real problem with my slide going back too far and locking up. A slight bump on the front of the slide will return it to battery. The trigger guard spring seems a little less firm than my other 64's. I have checked everything else that could be causing the problem that I am aware of. (recoil spring little end first) Does a pp/ppk trigger guard spring fit a P-64? I can't find one here at any of the hardware stores or machine shop. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A wolf P-64 18# hammer spring is the same dia size spring just cut to length, if want a little stiffer spring go with the 19 #

Thanks Norm, I just happen to have a couple of hammer springs handy. Learn something new all the time, did not know they were the same size.

I'm sorry ya had to do that Norm. Sometimes that trigger guard is a bear to put back together.

If you have a vise its not so bad, take a wash cloth fold it in half , put gun and cloth between jaws of vise like in pix




then slowly tighten jaws on vise tell you can push pin in or out

PS . REMOVE GRIPS AND RECOIL SPRING

thanks Norm, I did'nt know if putting it in a vise was a wise decision. Thanks for letting me know that it will not damage my trigger guard. You are a smart man Norm.

Could you guys point me in the right direction here? I would like to check out some grips for my P-64. Thanks
