Default S&W 908 DA trigger question

I just purchased 908, but have not shot it yet. I have noticed that when dry firing in DA mode, there is a "false reset" as I let the trigger out. There is a "click" about half way out toward the actual point of reset, and if I pull the trigger at that point the hammer will cock about 1/8" and then fall. I realize that this situation does not mimic actual shooting conditions (with the exception of a light strike), but it concerns me nevertheless. Can anyone shed light on this?

Thanks!

John

Hello John,

I have two 908's. A 908 & a 908S, as well as two 3913's and a 669. That "click" about half way to reset appears to be common with all of mine as well. This also appears to be true for my 669. I would not concern myself with it as again, it appears to be common with these Gen pistols.

Pull the trigger and hold..

Rack the slide to cock hammer..

Slowly let out trigger.. the click is trigger reset..

Pull trigger and you feel a crisp short hammer drop..

Yes, I tried that and was very pleased with the short, positive reset!

There is a trigger play spring on the 3rd Gen guns that can go out of adjustment and cause a click. One of my 457s had that problem. It can be adjusted using the eraser end of a pencil, but has to be done carefully.

Someone with more knowledge of the procedure can explain how to do it without breaking off the spring.
