This guide details a gunsmithing repair for an Artisas pistol experiencing hammer follow or failure to fully reset due to trigger play. Expert Morgan demonstrates how to diagnose the issue by identifying wear on the trigger cage and then performing a precise modification by chamfering the trigger cage's lower edge to correct abnormal contact. This advanced technique addresses a subtle mechanical malfunction, restoring reliable function.

Quick Summary

An Artisas pistol may experience hammer follow due to trigger play caused by wear. This can be fixed by identifying abnormal contact on the trigger cage (gabbia) and precisely chamfering its lower edge. This gunsmithing technique ensures the sear/disconnector spring (triple) maintains proper contact, resolving the malfunction.

Frequently Asked Questions

What causes an Artisas pistol's hammer to stop halfway during reset?

This issue, often called hammer follow, can be caused by excessive vertical play in the trigger. Wear on the trigger cage or other components can lead to the sear resetting prematurely, preventing the hammer from fully striking or resetting.

How can trigger play in a pistol be fixed?

Trigger play can be addressed by modifying components that cause abnormal contact. In this case, chamfering the lower edge of the trigger cage (gabbia) resolved the issue by preventing the sear/disconnector spring (triple) from losing contact.

What is the 'triple' in a firearm mechanism?

The 'triple' refers to the sear/disconnector spring. It plays a critical role in the trigger mechanism, ensuring proper engagement and disengagement between the sear and the disconnector, which affects hammer function and reset.

Is modifying a firearm's trigger cage a common repair?

Modifying components like the trigger cage is a common gunsmithing practice for addressing specific malfunctions. This particular repair involves precise filing to correct wear-induced contact issues, restoring reliable firearm operation.
