I have one of the Israeli surplus FN Hi Powers that were on the market about ten years ago. Today, I noticed that the hammer moves like it "tries to fall" just a fraction of a millimeter at the beginning of my trigger pull. It is just a tiny movement that stops abruptly.
As I proceed with the trigger pull, the gun fires as expected.
In the past ten years, I removed the trigger disconnect, and installed a slightly softer hammer spring, but I don't have the notes with me to look up the exact weight of the new hammer spring at the moment.
What do you think is causing this movement of the hammer, and is it a sign of something wearing out inside this nice old Hi Power?
