Help with sear engagement. Hammer is dropping to half cock following the slide. Want to keep the original parts and make it a safe shooter.
My grandfather had Chow do the work in 1975 and I inherited the pistol when he passed. Want to keep the provenance but shoot it with my son.

Sounds like the mainspring left leg (sear engagement) isn't in the correct position or needs adjusting. A 10 minutes task, if you are willing to DIY.

That’s what I hear. I’d met Det. Hobbs before I knew of his smithing.
