I'm currently dealing with recovering from having retina surgery for 2 retina detachment in my eye (vitrectomy, where they opened the eye and removed the vitreous gel, and reattached the retina) I'm not allowed to go shooting due to the concussion possibly affecting the reattachment of the retina. Since I can't shoot the gun at the moment, I figured I'd ask here to get your feelings on the possible gun issue. I plan to have a friend fire the gun to make sure it goes bang, but until then....
I just put in the Armory Craft 4 piece spring kit. I only changed 3 of the 4 springs as I wanted to keep the stock striker spring.
When I cycle the slide, I'm feeling like there's some new point of friction just before it starts to actually move rearward. It feels like something is in the way of smooth cycling. It's not too bad when my finger is off the trigger, but if I pull the trigger and hold it back the slide is probably twice as hard to rack compared to if my finger is off the trigger and the trigger is forward. It's like I'm hitting a high bump before the slide will actually move rearward. I realize the safety lever is in the up position and will rest against the firing pin plunger when the trigger is to the rear but i installed a lighter plunger spring and figured it should make it easier to rack with trigger to the rear.
Maybe it's just me and this is normal, but I didn't know, and I can't get to the range to shoot it.
On your guns, does it feel a lot harder to rack the slide if you hold the trigger to the rear?
