I was wondering, according to the manual when I re-assemble my 6946 (DAO) it says when I slide the slide back onto the frame to depress the ejector and firing pin safety back into their groves. THe ejector is up and needs to be pushed down but the firing pin safety lever is already in the down position. Is this normal? I notice that there is a rattle when the gun is fully assembled and that rattle is the firing pin safety lever. When unassembled, if I pull the trigger I see the that the firing pin safety lever pops up and goes back down when the trigger is released.

I have a 3913 (da/sa) and the firning pin safety lever needs to be pushed down when you slide the slide on. So I am wondering - does my 6946 have an issue? THANK YOU for any help!
