(Guess the Subject should be about the hammer not the trigger)
Just picked up my 10mm from the LGS. It's used, looks clean, barrel is bright, no cosmetic flaws, racks fine, slide is a bit hard to release but that's expected. There is one thing I have to question though, I dry fired and the hammer strikes but it rests about 1/8 off the back of the pin and vibrates for a split second. There's also a little side to side play. I got out my 1911 and dry fired it to compare and the hammer stays firmly on the pin.
It's my first 10mm so is it exhibiting normal hammer movement or is there a problem?
thanks
I have a little over a thousand rounds through my P220 emperor scorpion. I just tested what you described and mine does exactly the same thing. Hope this helps.
Thanks, just not seen that before.
Perfectly normal. Sigs have a rebounding hammer. Part of their drop safe mechanism, the hammer is held off the firing pin so that if the pistol is dropped directly into the hammer it won't fire. It won't be noticed in live fire. The side-to-side play is normal too.

This. Just a sig thing.
