EAA Witness Match Safety Mushy

Anybody got a fix?  This thing has no click.

Three thoughts.  All three start with removing the safety.

To remove the safety  (https://youtu.be/72_vrbS5t7E?t=174):

1.  Ensure clear and field strip the gun
2.  On the sear group, lift the spring leg that is visible on the front right of the sear group into the notch/ledge in the middle of the sear group.
3.  Pull the safety out to the left side of the frame.  The sear group will also come loose.

With the safety out:

1.  Ensure the frame detent engagement points are free from dirt/debris
2.  Ensure the safety still has the detent/detent spring installed and that it moves in and out with pressure
     a.  In my gun the detent sticks out 0.075" and is difficult to depress, but moves smoothly
3.  Ensure that there is a notable tactile "hump" between the detent engagement points
     a.  In my gun my 51 year old eyes can barely see this, but I can feel it with a small screwdriver

My guess is that your detent is stuck in a depressed position and isn't doing anything.  Solvent, then gently work it and then oil it.  Alternately, it may be missing.

Thanks.  I'm sure everything is there, (probably including the gunk) I can feel the detents, just feels like it lubricated with Bazooka Joe Bubble gum.
