So to start with, I fixed it I think.
It was easy actually. The trigger bar moved down as normal on firing to disengage. But it went slightly lower than normal. This disengaged it from between the grip and whatever the piece on the opposite side is, that was retaining it. Keeping it only moving in one plane. But then once too low, it was almost free to move. And it moved laterally for some reason jamming under another part. Which let the hammer fall back too far as the slide cycled on my last shot. The seer then engaged the hammer with the wrong point. Making it impossible to decock. I just had to push things around with a screw driver. Ease the seer, manipulate the trigger bar to position, with light effort. And it all functioned properly again. Nothing looks broken or bent or gouged. No new shiny bits.
It seems to function properly now. The problem for me is, what caused/allowed the malfunction? And how can I prevent it? It had rubber Hogue grips on, and thats the only thing that I could (remotely) see making a difference. Maybe the trigger bar spring caught an internal grip edge on cycle, and forced things places. Idk.
Any ideas?
