When the magazine is removed and the trigger is in the full forward position, the magazine safety pivots behind the trigger to block trigger movement. Applying even the slightest pressure to the trigger while removing the magazine prevents the safety from functioning properly. It cannot pivot to block the trigger when the trigger is moved to a position in which the safety is prevented from rotating. When pressure is applied to the trigger on magazine removal, it is the trigger that blocks the magazine safety rather than vice versa. Consequently, the trigger can now be pulled with the magazine removed. Since the magazine supports the firing mechanism internally, pulling the trigger with the magazine removed causes the mechanism to collapse towards the inside of the gun. In this condition attempting to insert the magazine will result in damage to the draw bar spring, which is the spring that operates the trigger and the draw bar - and also the magazine safety. Replacing draw bar springs that have been thus damaged is by far our number one repair problem. After we began issuing warnings describing the mechanics of the problem, the problem grew worse and not better. It might be the wet paint syndrome. An extra draw bar spring is therefore included with every pistol, along with these installation instructions. See the diagram below.
