Ever experience a double fire?
« on: June 25, 2016, 02:22:57 PM »
I was watching someone with a P-01 Omega shooting IDPA today and they experienced two doubles in a row on two different targets. He said he had a SRS and 11.5# hammer spring in the gun.

Has anyone experienced the same thing with the newer omega guns or the older P-02? What could be the cause of that?

Most likely he tried to ride the shortened reset and pulled the trigger in the process. I've done that with my P99.

When I first went to an 8 1/2# hammerspring with a short reset disco in my 75 Shadow,  I did it twice in a period of two weeks(?).
I ride the trigger forward when shooting fast.  If your applying slight pressure to the trigger right at the reset point,  it CAN go bang again.  It's so fast,  the target had snake-bite holes.  :o
  Any well  tuned pistol can do it,  if all the variables fall together.

I took some slack out of a High Standard .22 trigger linkage many years ago.  It fired two rounds EVERY trigger pull,  and it just sounded slightly strange.  Riding the reset can do the same thing if the sear engagement is short and light.
