safety engaging while firing

robertrwalsh · 04-05-2017, 12:34 PM

Two of my three Lugers have developed this problem. I am beginning to suspect it is ammunition based. Sometimes (not always) after firing two or three rounds the safety lever will drop out of its OFF SAFE notch and the weapon will not fire. The ball detent seems to me to be an appropriate strength. I am wondering if the ammo I am using is maybe a bit harsh and this is a function of that rather than a flaw in the weapons. One of them is a Erfurt 1914. The other is a stainless steel Stoeger 6". Any ideas or thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.
