My old tried and true (I thought) bedside table 2nd Gen Glock 17 developed a problem. I am not a Glock Armorer or gunsmith, so any replies need to be real simple. Thanks.
The trigger doesn't "drop the hammer" until it's pressing against the rear of the trigger housing, requiring a looooong trigger stroke and a lot of pressure. Once or twice it simply refused to trip, even when pulled SNUGLY against the frame. I stripped the pistol, shot it with a gun scrubber, and lightly lubed the thingie (I told you I was not a 'smith) on the right rear of the frame that I THINK controls things. Reassembled, racked the action and dry-fired repeatedly, no joy. Any ideas, or does this old companion go to a gunsmith right now? Before you ask, I've cued up the lightweight Commander for the nightstand.
