Brand new Victory, cleaned and oiled per the manual, has a very inconsistent, unpredictable trigger.
It will function just fine for a short time then the gun will not fire as usual. The trigger will become hard and the gun will not fire immediately. A delayed ignition will occur with no further trigger movement. After a few of these the gun will fire while the trigger slack is still being taken up, before any resistance is felt.
Anyone else have these trigger problems?
Thanks.

Anyone ever hear of this?

Haven't heard of it, but S&W should and they will fix it for you. My Victory has a very nice trigger, only complaint id the amount of pre-travel.

I've never heard of anything like that with any gun, ever. That thing needs to go back, it's dangerous.

Definitely send that back to S&W. Do not fire it again until they've fixed it. It is quite unsafe. I've never heard of any firearm acting like that.

I agree your life or someone else's could be on the line with that pistol , send it back for repair.There is after market trigger kits out there for these as well that really improve the trigger feel and would probably solve this problem as well.

Yes! Back to Smith & Wesson it should go. Even if you intend to do a trigger modification later, it should be working correctly as a new pistol first.

One of the new SIG P320's was delayed firing at my gun club. Only a split second delay, and not continuously, maybe 20% of the trigger pulls.

I actually read something very similar on another forum just a day or so ago. I'd send it in asap.

If you saw it on 1911forum.com it was me.

Pretty sure that is where I saw it and I have to say due to the fact I can't remember what I had for lunch today I'M PRETTY IMPRESSED WITH MYSELF OVER THIS.

Not good, definitely send it back and keep us up to date.

Time for an update. Got it back from S&W, it's working OK now. It likes CCI Mini Mags, CCI Standard Velocity and Federal Gold Medal Target. It doesn't like Aguila Standard Velocity ammo. It had a jam with some nasty, dirty old Remington Peters HV stuff.

Did S&W tell you what they did to fix it? Might help out someone else down the road.

They were pretty coy about the work they did. I can see they have bent-adjusted the ejector.
The only detail they gave was "Adjusted trigger stop screw out."
I'd like to know the rest of the story.
