HSc Takedown Problem

<< < (5/6) > >>

vlim:
That would almost suggest that the takedown plunger is broken and the barrel remains locked to the top part of the plunger.

f4wso:
Agree, it might be the takedown plunger but it does seem like a heavy piece of metal. Anyway, I tried soaking it for a while in de-greaser and still no luck.


I'll check with the owner and see if he wants it back. At least I can give it a good home.


Any HSc savvy gunsmiths you can recommend?


Thanks to all who helped.

Warbird:
After rereading all your posts, I just want to be clear.  The Slide retracts (opens) all the way without restriction.  Is that correct?  If that statement is correct then the only thing preventing it from moving forward off the Frame is the Barrel Latch and Vlim would have to be correct that it is broken, although I have never heard of this happening.  Please confirm my question.

f4wso:
Yes, correct. The slide can be opened and even locks back on mag. I think the safety has to be off to pull slide all the way back

Warbird:
The HSc Safety has only one function:  it moves the tail of the Firing Pin up into a recess in the Slide and out of the path of the Hammer.  If anything else is going on with its movement then something is wrong with the internal mechanism.

Back to the Barrel Latch.  Its shaft is hollow with a return Spring inserted.  When you push down on the Latch does it want to return back up?  If not then it is definitely broken.  Since there is no way to get at the top of the Latch (a dovetail), the only thing I can think of is flooding it from the Trigger Guard with penetrating oil, let it set for a day or so then try to shake it down.
