Was at the range today and brought my favorite semi auto. My sig 229. I have run all sorts of drills with this gun over the course of a year with a board member and the gun has never failed. NEVER! It has a few thousand rounds through it and always goes bang. Its accurate and it fits my hand well. Its what I mostly carry.
Today at the range I had a strange incident. Was busy shooting along but on one shot I brought it to the reset and while I heard and felt it click it didnt feel like it had completely reset. It felt like I may have short stroked it.
Trigger locked to the back and no amount of pulling it sent the hammer down. I dropped the mag and racked the slide and it was back in operation and I fired another 20 rounds without a problem. Has me a bit nervous now as I do carry it and it has ALWAYS just worked.
Can a short stroke lead to a locked trigger?
