Finally had the chance to shoot my code 42 1940 pistol today.
With 4 rounds in the mag I am only able to shoot one round off. The next round chambers but will not fire. If I pull the action back and eject the round the next one will fire but the following round will not. It seems like the trigger is not resetting. Ejection appears to be brisk, watched my son shoot it, empties all go up and out and on the last round the action stays open. It is all matching except for the side plate. I seem to recall a thread on this issue but could find it.
Thoughts?
Thanks
Paul
