New P.08, 1939 "42", currently not firing!

Hello Everyone,

Yesterday I just got my new P.08 in the mail. I never had a hands on inspection so when it arrived there were a few surprises. One was that the grip was broken in the corner :grumble: and the other was that the gun doesn't fire :1scream:

I think the sideplate is the issue, when you pull the trigger the trigger bar isn't pushed in far enough to actually release the striker... As soon as I got the gun I stripped it down and cleaned everything. And after I assembled it I figured out it didn't fire.

Has anyone had a similar problem?
