Re: Made some videos

I have a very stiff safety and will be having to disassemble my P64 slide. Your videos took a lot of worry out of that.
Thanks for the relief. Better than alkaseltzer. LOL

Re: Letting down hammer with round chambered.

I am going to need instructions for removing the decocker. I have read them somewhere on the web but dont remember where. the metal looks pretty bad and beatup.

Re: Letting down hammer with round chambered.

I think I found the problem. My decocker is so hard to use that I quit using it. After decocking, the trigger is disconnected per design. When I forced the decocker back to fire then my trigger was active again so I can use DA for the round in the chamber. How hard is your decocker to use. I cant mo...

Re: Letting down hammer with round chambered.

I tried that and the trigger is disconnected. Can you use the trigger to lower the hammer on yours?

Re: Letting down hammer with round chambered.

I dont understand "manually lower the hammer when decocking". That is what I cant do and want someone to tell me if my P64 is right and I cannot lower the hammer the way I described it.

No, since I don't trust the decocker due to surprises over the years, I pull the hammer back the rest of the way and pull the trigger in and slowly release the hammer. I have had a few unintended firing using the decocker on some pistols.

Letting down hammer with round chambered.

Dont get on my case but I like to carry with my DA/SA pistols having one in the pipe and hammer down so first round is DA, remainder is SA. Just got my P64 back from gunsmith for sight work and found I cannot lower the hammer with a round in chamber. What could be causing this? :?: Thanks :hi: txbiker
