HSc Takedown Problem

<< < (6/6)

f4wso:
Warbird, thanks.

In answer to your question. When I push down on the Latch it wants to return (spring) back up.

I have noticed when I engage the safety the whole slide moves forward and when I move safety to fire the slide moves backward. If I then pull trigger in DA the safety moves half way to on on first pull and then all the way to safe on the second. Not sure if this is normal?

So I understand your recommendation, I should
1. Place pistol upside down and flood with penetrating oil (I have Kroll and WD40) through the Latch on the front of the trigger (and/or Trigger Base gap)
2. Let set for a few days
3. Holding pistol upright push down on the latch while shaking the pistol and moving the slide forward and up

Warbird:
That is correct procedure ... you are trying to shake the head of the Barrel Latch out of its dovetail on the Barrel.   I use WD40 for everything and not familiar with Kroil.

I covered the action of your Safety already but to restate:  The action of your Safety is NOT normal.  I am beginning to suspect that someone took this HSc apart and reassembled it broken and incorrectly.

f4wso:
Thanks for clarifying. Soaking now. The take down latch if really pushed down can be made to stick/wedge in place, but will easily spring back with a gentle touch.


I agree, something is not right on the inside of this pistol. Hate to see that happen to these old guns

DesertDave:
Aero-Kroil is wonderful stuff! I've used on my 20's & 30's cars for decades. Really breaks loose nasty rusted hardware..10X better than WD-40. Used it on sticky, gummed up P.38 slides over the years, too. Really works wonderfully. Then flush it all out, blow dry & Ballistol the mechanism...My 2 cents..DesertDave
