I am having an issue with the hammer on my new SIG p290.
The good news with the gun is that the trigger itself is smoothing out a lot and is getting to be much better.
The bad news is that I am constantly having an issue with the hammer. It occurs mainly when I am staging the DAO trigger. The hammer is not falling completely. It is just returning to a partially cocked position. In fact the trigger is able to be pulled again after the hammer falls. That is not something this gun is supposed to be able to do. At least I am assuming it isn't. I am thinking this is a bad thing.
After looking at some old video of me shooting the gun when I first got it I am noticing it happening in the video. I think tthis might be what I was mistaking for light strikes. I am curious to see if anyone else having the light strike issue might be seeing the same problem.
I am itching to tear it down a take a look inside but I want to talk to SIG first.
I made a video that shows exactly what I am talking about.
