P08 Trigger Problem

kmichaels90 · 03-07-2012, 11:58 AM

Seems very odd. If you have the gun cocked with it assembled then remove the upper will it release the firing pin when pressure is applied to the sear bar? If not I would say the issue is with the sear bar or firing pin. If it does release I would think the problem is in the trigger/sideplate/sear bar engagement. That would be an area where I wouldnt know what to do.

I agree it's odd. The pistol has been handled carefully. Just took it out for a periodic wipe down and ran into a brick wall. Could you please explain what you mean by "remove the upper." What part are you referring to? (I looked at the P08 disassemble video and noticed that when the demonstrator pulls the toggle back to **** the pistol the toggle stays up by itself. I have 3 P08s and the toggle doesn't stay up on any of them.)
