Thanks for the help all. Installed the disconnector and dry fired a bunch of times. It seems to have done the trick.

Well, I'm glad I checked the recent threads before I posted my problem. I think I have the beginnings of this issue going on - if I function check the trigger group and hold the trigger back while resetting the hammer, if I let the trigger go quickly, as you would when firing, I get the nice "clunk" of the hammer settling in against the trigger. If I let it go slowly, however, the hammer just flies forward. Hasn't happened at the range yet, but it sounds like I'm starting to lose my disconnector. This is a stock, single stage trigger.
Sounds like a disconnector issue, yes? |

Sounds like a disconnector issue, yes? Yes, and if the spring is still strong and the sear still clean, then it can be retuned to bring it back into timing. |

I took it apart last night and found, first, that the spring was mashed down way shorter than a new spring is. My first attempt at a remedy was just to replace the spring, but that didn't do the trick. I then replaced the disconnector as well and viola, it's good to go.

It's usually best to replace the more inexpensive part first, which is typically the spring, and then go from there. |

Its usually best to figure out exactly whats wrong before replacing anything.
And that is often accomplished by trouble shooting And troubleshooting is often done by parts swapping. A fire on release condition can be caused by several things, but it does not make sense to replace more expensive parts if the problem is a bad spring. Some bad parts are obvious to the eye, not all are. |
