Tm M9 Sticky Trigger

[strykerles]

As above, after firing the trigger seems to stick back and won't return 75% of the time. Ive cleaned and lubed the mech but it hasn't changed.

Also the slide won't lock back on empty, slide doesn't seem to go back far enough

Starting to regret getting this gun as I've had nothing but problems since I first used it where it performed great

I'm starting to think it's to do with the fact the slide doesn't travel all the way back to force the hammer down. If I manually pull the hammer back the trigger moves

is this to do with the decocker? I'm not very clued up on these tbh

 

[Keithlag]

it has not got a decocker but has got a double stage  trigger. if you pull back the slide slowley is it catching on the hammer ?

what gas are you using ?

 

[Schnakey]

That definitely has a decocker. 

Looks to be functioning normally but low on gas? Trigger should be back/in single action for any subsequent shots to your first DA shot.

All the TM ones since the M9a1 have had a working decocker. My Albert (which is identical to the OP's) has a working decocker as it's M9A1 based. 

 

[EDcase]

The WE also has functioning decocker

using WE green gas with proper marui mags, the slide just doesn't go back far enough but goes back fine manually

could always try red gas.......................... ?

 

[Schnakey]

Mine is quite reluctant to cycle well unless on green gas too. Think it's extra pressure from the different hammer on the Albert. 

Could try a WE mag, they have a less convoluted gas router so put out a little more poke.

I tried this as I have a WE samurai edge but it doesn't like the mags and won't fire properly

 

[Schnakey]

May be a lack of mass in the hammers then, mine just laughs at 144a. 

 

[strykerles]

could the recoil spring be the culprit and stopping the slide travelling enough?

 

[Schnakey]

I saw a chap on Reddit had an issue with the weight in the front of the slide moving, could be that? 

Spring feels the same as my samurai edge.

 

[strykerles]

after taking it apart and putting it back together I'm 90% sure it's the slide not travelling back far enough to load the next bb, whichever gas i use it makes no difference

If I manually rack the slide it fires every time

Is the recoil spring guide sitting properly. That can affect slide travel.

Yes it's sitting correctly

 

[BigStew]

only thing i can think of is the trigger return spring or the trigger bar return spring.
