I have an interarms ppks and I was shooting it with some gold dots this weekend (which didn't feed) and on shot 5, the hammer locked back against the frame and was stuck there.
Pulling the trigger, racking the slide, decocking etc. would not release the hammer. I had to remove the mainspring and drive out the hammer pin to get the hammer out.
I put it back to together and all seems well although I didn't have a chance to shoot it again.
Obviously this is not a good thing. I sometimes carry this gun and I really want something other than a single shot. Has anyone had this happen and what was the fix?
The only mod to the gun is a lighter mainspring and perhaps this is problem/fix.
The gun has been 100% reliable up to now w/ fmj and silvertips.
Thanks
