I had my Sig-Sauer P-232 out at the range the other day, and experienced a bizarre malfunction. The trigger stuck all the way to the rear. After boggling for a second, I cleared the gun. The trigger remained glued all the way to the rear, actually flush with the frame. I gave the gun a solid *whap* with the heel of my palm, and the trigger rebounded to its proper place (the SA position).
I reloaded, racked a round in, and resumed firing (slowly, watching/feeling for any reoccurance or anything out of place). A few rounds later, bingo- it did it again. I clear the gun and proceed to fiddle/tinker/mess-with it in classic non-expert Guy fashion. Turns out I could make it do it just dry-firing, from either SA or DA.
I turned it in to my dept armorer (I'm a LEO and this is my off-duty gun), and OF COURSE it won't do it for him, or for me while I'm in his presence. His solution was to run it through the sonic washer, since he thought it might not be clean enough rolleyes: I keep it clean, but 1. this was in the middle of an extended range session so it WAS a little cruddy and 2. in his defense, he deals with a LOT of cops who neglect their gear).
I get it back and it still does it.
Thoughts?
