Just a quick update on that. . . . I repeated the test (no, I didn't do this often - I know monkeying with the hammer is bad) - but found out that if I pull the trigger WAY WAY hard it's smooth as silk.

I get the feeling that this puts the trigger in a position that it slams into right after breaking. . . . and that the situation I described above may be one that does not turn up when merely firing the gun.

Is what I'm describing just the tight tolerances of good parts/trigger work?

Anyway, unless I hear a serious warning I'll be off putting 100 rounds through this tomorrow (thurs) lunch.

thanks,
Battler.
