Hello all,
I've purchased a Charles Daly Hi-Power and am quite pleased with the gun, except for the safety. When I press the trigger AFTER cocking the hammer and engaging the safety, there is a palpable "click" in the trigger and the hammer creeps forward a millimeter or so. Upon further examination, I can see the edge of the sear protruding over the hammer hook. The hammer doesn't fall and no amount of pushing or whacking of the hammer makes it do so. My question is, is this gun safe to carry cocked and locked? I know the Hi-Power has enormous hammer hooks, but this has shaken me some. Do I need fit a new safety to the gun? Maybe a new hammer(don't like the ring hammer and want to switch to a spur)? Thanks all and sorry for the long post.
