Potential Ruger P97 trigger/hammer problem?

[bestseller92]

On my last couple of shooting sessions with my Ruger P97, I have noticed an unusual "quirk" that wasn't there before (or at least if it was there I didn't notice it before).

After the gun has fired and the hammer has been recocked for another shot, when I'm squeezing the trigger gently to try and get an accurate single action shot, there will be a slight audible "click" and the hammer will move forward perhaps 1/32 of an inch or so, after which a bit more pressure will cause the hammer to fall forward and the gun will fire.

I have as yet experienced no malfunctions with this gun of any kind, but this new occurance does concern me a bit. I would appreciate any input as to why this is happening and what might need to be done about it. Thanks.

How many rounds do you have through it?
Maybe the sear is worn.

Personally I have around 500, but the gun was used when I got it.

A guy on another board says I probably have a burr on the sear edge, that this was a problem with older P97, and that Ruger should be able to fix it with a new sear.

Does not sound right. I'd say call Ruger.
