My MIL got a T3 a while back, shot it once then it sat in the safe for awhile. We went shooting last week so I got to take my hand to it finally. When I was about to shoot it for the first time the trigger felt like the safety was engage(it was in the off position), I inspected it and nothing seemed wrong, regripped it and fired a few rounds then it happened again. That's when I found the problem, the thumb safety has a bit of play in it in the off position and my thumb took up the slack(just a few degrees of rotation) which was enough to engage the safety even though it had not clicked into the on position.
I have a lot of years shooting and owning 1911s but have never had an issue before so I have zero experience fiddling with them or even needing to problem solve them. Is their an easy fix for this? Can they just take it to a local gunsmith or should it go back to Nighthawk? Other than that, it is an incredibly smooth shooting gun. Thanks in advance. |
