I bought a p226 from Wolverine in Dec. My wife had it out for the third time and it's having trigger problems. When you load, rack and shoot it the first time it fires. Then you pull the trigger and it pulls through but doesn't release the hammer and fire. If I rack it again and eject the unfired round, the next round fires...and so on.
I'm going to call Wolverine tomorrow but anyone have some suggestions?
Thanks.
 
Stupid question, but upon trigger reset of the fired round, is there enough travel given to the trigger to fully reset? Maybe loading a mag with a few snap caps and operating the pistol manually as if it were being fired, may give you a bit more of an idea of what's going on...

If you do find out, please post it back here. I've tagged this thread...very interesting...
 
It seems to have fully reset. The hammer's cocked and when I pull the trigger slowly I feel/hear the trigger 'click' at the point it should release the hammer but nothing. But then, rack, eject the unfired round and chamber a new round, it fires....then not on the next round. Odd.
 
You need to diagnose this by releasing the trigger entirely, ie finger comes off the trigger after first shot, then squeeze the trigger again and see if the hammer falls. If you are riding the trigger to a presumed reset, you really can't determine if the trigger properly reset.
 
yeah, finger's fully off the trigger for sure. My wife passed me the gun after it happened and I replicated a few times as I was kind of in a wtf mode? I field stripped it on the bench just to see if there was something in it? I knew it was cleaned and oiled because I'd done that after the last time at the range. Once I reassembled it, same thing.
 
Take the slide off, and simulate the gun firing with it off...manually set the hammer, and see what the trigger bar is doing just before the sear disengages and the hammer falls. You might have an issue with the trigger bar or sear not resetting properly for follow up shots. Keep resetting it to see if anything becomes apparent. If you have another 226 that you can compare it with, that may be very helpful.
 
Just for the sake of asking.....when you take it down, do you do it the way the manual says to for the SRT system? I was just about to take my new Tacops down for the first time to give her the Frog Lube treatment, when that little voice told me to read the manual, just in case. Sure as Sh*t there is a special note for take downs for pistols with the SRT. I believe some guys are causing damage to the trigger bar by not doing it right.
 
does it have a trigger adjustment screw in the trigger pad? Had one of these on a different gun that was screwed too far in and would not allow the trigger to go far enough back to release the sear.

Cheers

So, what does the manual say in regards to the SRT guns?

That when you lock the slide back and drop the take down lever, you hold the slide while releasing it to the start point, then decock the hammer, then continue to pull the slide off.
 
sayyyy what? that seems odd

never did that before, what is the reasoning?
