Folks:
I have a Gunsite GSP2000 that I bought used and it's having a bit of a problem. It's basically a slightly modified Springfield Armory, with what looks like a Videcki trigger.
Here's the problem. It happens about 50% of the times I pull the trigger. The initial take up is normal. Then you reach the second stage and start building up pressure on the trigger. After you've got some pressure on the second stage, the trigger then moves rearwards just a bit (couple thousandths?). The trigger stops, you build up more pressure, and then finally the hammer falls.
I disassembled the pistol and detail cleaned it. I noticed the following: there are some file marks on the bottom of the hammer, but they seem to be well below the tip. I also noted that the bottom of the disconnector (the part that looks like a small spade and interacts with the trigger bow) was not flat, but rather the edge seems to have a bow in it.
I'll probably send this in to a gunsmith to fix, but I'm wondering what might be the cause. Any clues?
