I was shooting my P3AT last Sunday when the trigger stopped working - it wasn't pulling the hammer back when I pulled the trigger.
I later disassembled the gun and saw that the trigger bar wasn't engaging the hammer - it was just sliding by without catching the sear. I took it all apart and cleaned it well and it seems to be working nicely now - although I haven't had the chance to try it out at the range yet.
I tried searching the forum and haven't come across any posts mentioning anything like this. I'm wondering if this is a common occurrence, and if my problem was likely just caused by a little crud build-up, or if there is any specific wear issues I should be looking for. I bought this gun used, so I don't know what kind of life it had or how many rounds have been through it. I have only shot about 200-300 rounds through it myself.
Any insight is appreciated. Thanks!
