I aquired my much desired 1026 (5" 10mm with a frame mounted decocker) yesterday. Paid too much for it but I wanted one for a while now so what the hell. It does seem to have a problem though. About 25-50% of the time the hammer will not completely fall when the trigger is pulled. I hesitate to call it the half cock position because it really isn't. It is the position where the hammer normally rest after the decocker is actuated. It will do this from either DA or SA mode. It seems I can elimanate the problem by pressing on the ejection port side of the circular blank (where the slide mounted safety would be were this a 1006) at the rear of the slide. However, it would be most difficult to make this a practice during live fire.
It looks as if I will have to send it to Smith for repair early next week but I really, really wanted to use it for an upcoming class. Does anyone have a quick fix for me?
