Trigger not cocked after firing

[G.T.]

A problem that I have found with a Simson rework that I like to shoot, is a loose side plate! The pistol does everythink correctly with the exception of firing! The trigger has travel all the way to the frame, and when you push in on the top of the side plate it will cause the sear to release! I am doing this with an unloaded gun of course...lot's of different experiences out there, good luck...till...later...G.T.
