I picked up a 39-2 that looks a little rough. I took it out shooting today and I noticed it has a little bit of hammer follow. It's like this - If I thumb the hammer back to full cock, it stays on full cock. If the hammer is cocked by way of the slide, about 80% of the time it will stay back. If I test by racking the slide, then hitting the slide release (finger off of the trigger) it will come to rest on the decock notch. When I was actually firing it at the range today and I had the trigger depressed, when the hammer follow happened, I didn't check to see if the hammer came to rest fully forward on the firing pin, or if it landed on the halfcock notch. There were no double fires are anything like that. I detail stripped the frame and cleaned everything out really good (it needed it too!). The engagement surfaces don't look overly worn, nor do they look like anybody ruined them in an attempt to do a trigger job or anything like that. At least not that I can tell.
Given that, I think the issue might be in this sear spring that I've been reading about. As I understand it, I need to replace the spring, and ideally the pin that holds it in. I don't see it listed on the Numrich schematic...does anybody know where to source these parts, and also, does it sound like I'm on the right track?
