Hello folks,
I am hoping to get some advise on a problem I had recently. I have a S&W 915 (with the lower capacity Mag) that I took to the range a while ago. I had not fired this gun since the mid 90's. I inserted the clip with the safety on and pulled back the slid with the weapon pointing down range. When i released the slide to chamber a round, the de-cocking / safety lever tripped to "fire position" and released the hammer causing the gun to discharge. It doesn't do this if the gun safety is in the "fire" position. This can't be normal. Has anyone ever experienced this problem? The gun functions normally in both single and double action. Thank you for any assistance you can provide.
Best Regards,
Jim
