Model HSC Pistol / HSc Grips

« on: April 30, 2017, 10:09:56 AM »

I have seen a couple post about the original grips chipping or cracking while firing the pistol.  Out of curiosity, is this because of the age and the wood being dry or something else?  How common is this problem?  Is there a difference between the fit of post war vs. wartime grips?  Finally, if I want a set of grips to use when I shoot my HSc where is a good place to find some decent grips for that purpose?
As always, thanks for any and all input.

Model HSC Pistol / 3 HSc Issues - Newbie

« on: April 25, 2017, 10:37:51 AM »

I need some input on a problem I am having with my HSc.  I purchased a Nice early war model w/ all the proper waffenampts and matching serial numbers along with it's holster.  There were two problems I noticed  when I got it.

The first was the trigger would not reset unless I let it snap forward quickly.  I solved that by replacing the trigger spring from a set of early war parts I fell into.

The second problem was that when the slide was locked back and I started to remove the magazine the slide would snap closed.  Solved that by replacing the Mag safety and it's tiny spring.  Function checked, now everything worked like it was suppose to.

The third problem is when I load 6 rounds in the magazine and insert it into the pistol, either the cartridge only feeds part way and jams or fails to feed.  The weird thing is sometimes I insert the mag and the slide stays locked back and does not move.  I don't understand this since I can insert  a empty mag and it shuts, so I would think a loaded mag would at least release the slide.  If I load 5 rounds in the mag the pistol feeds like it is suppose to some of the time.  If I load 4 or less the pistol feeds properly all of the time.  I have two mags.  the same thing happens with both.  The one is early war with the Mauser logo on the bottom and the other is a later war with the cresent indent.  I am thinking weak magazine  springs but I don't know.

I could sure use some help figuring this out.  THANKS.
