Hi, I just bought a used S&W 3913.The question I have is, When I pull the trigger the hammer doesn't release until just (and I mean JUST) before the trigger hits the frame.Is that normal? Also, if I release the trigger slowly it can partially engage the sear on it's way back to being completely released. When it does this I can pull the trigger from the halfway point and it partially cocks and drops the hammer. Is that normal for the 3913 too? Thanks
Something ain't right I've owned two, and the DA pulls both broke sooner that what you have described (about 3/16 before rearward motion stopped, but that's from memory). Neither would "pick up" the sear on the way forward.
Suggest you have a S&W armorer check it out for broken/worn parts, or possible the results of an amateur slick up attempt.
