Having an issue with my P64, after every shot a new round will chamber but the hammer is not locking back. This eliminates the single action aspect of the pistol. Has anyone experienced this problem before?
I am using PPU ammo and installed the wolff spring upgrades, but I get the same results with both stock and Wolff springs.
Any direction on what to do would be great.
Thanks

Re: Hammer not cocking after firing
Well, if it was as simple as the hammer not locking back, you would be getting a slam fire (it would fire in full auto until the mag was emptied)...which would be scary as hell.
Since it sounds like it's just firing 1 at a time, it seems like your safety must be getting toggled, at least momentarily.

Could also be a problem with the disconnector. Or also the sear going bad. If it's the sear it could develop into that slam fire situation so be careful.

That happened to me when the safety detente spring was bad and the safety became kind of loose. Changed the safety detente spring and the gun is good to go now.
Re: Hammer not cocking after firing
I took it all apart again to see if I could find any potential issues with worn parts or burs. Weird thing is everything looks as if it is new. I took it to the range again after putting it back together and still have the same problem. It will only fire in double action mode. What should I do at this point? I don't want to just start randomly replacing parts.
Thanks

Re: Hammer not cocking after firing
Took it back to the range again yesterday. Still having problems, this time it did slam fire. Good thing I only loaded two rounds max. Looking back at another thread on this forum another member had the same issues and like weasel mentioned above the sear must worn.
Where can I find a replacement sear, hammer, sear spring, and disconnector?

Re: Hammer not cocking after firing
You sure it actually slamfired? It is very easy to "double-tap" due to the high recoil. The best way to avoid this is holding the trigger back until it is done recoiling, rather than the instinctive reaction of letting it reset as it recoils.
Re: Hammer not cocking after firing
It definitely slamfired. I didn't realize it at first, it felt like an very hot round since I only loaded 2 rounds after reading this thread (thanks for the heads up Weasel). I usually hold the trigger back until it's finished cycling as I listen for the reset in order to stop the forward travel.snailman153624 wrote:You sure it actually slamfired?

I found a disconnect of there, but I also contacted SOG and told them about the issues. They told me after 30 days I have to contact the importer. I called CAI and started their return process. They will attempt to fix it and if no luck replace it. I hope everything gets sorted out quickly.Curly1 wrote:Check gunbroker for parts.
