C96 "malfunctions"

Freischütz · 07-21-2016, 02:32 PM

While shooting my M1930 two people asked me if I ever had any “malfunctions”. By malfunction they meant pulling the trigger and the hammer not falling. Neither fellow had their gun with them so I couldn’t dismantle them to see what was happening.

Over the years I’ve seen this “malfunction” with several C96s and wondered what caused it. There seem to be a rather limited number of parts in play. Anyone have an answer?
