NEW S&W 329pd. Trigger not resetting

trigger reset

Give it a complee cleaning and lube.It just could be crud built up.

If like other N frames, there should be an overtravel pin inside the spring of the rebound slide.
Saw one old 29 like new due to this. Same problem.
The cut to length side of the pin was to the outer edge of the slide and it had a burr. Simple grind of bevel on edge solved it.
Could have flipped the pin, but the next poor slob that ever took it apart could have put it back in the "wrong way" and had the problem again.
Slight bevel (barely there) and the pin length was unchanged, and orientation no longer mattered (the untouched end had a radius from the factory).

329 is a cool rig
Keep waiting for a good deal on a used one.

I would be very surprised if there is a trigger over-travel stop pin in the rebound slide of a 329PD.

I would be even more surprised if it could in any way effect the trigger return.

Even with a sharp square end on it, the rebound slide spring is expanding longer to push the trigger back foreword.

So there is no possible way it could bind in the spring and slow or stop it from expanding.


But regardless.
You have what is basically a brand new S&W, top of the line revolver.

It is under full factory warranty.

If it doesn't work, call S&W and get a call tag and let them fix it so it works as it is supposed to work.

I know you said you soaked it but I would take the grips off and blast the inside of the liberally with Gun Scrubber, reoil and go shoot it some more, say 100 - 150 rounds. Sometimes little gremlins go away with shooting.

Soaked in what? Firearms need some lube. Try some Rem oil with teflon lubricant.

Careful what you soak or spray it with.

The 329PD has some clear-coat finish going on you don't want to mess up!!!
