Hey guys, so I traded one of my pistols for a 45c. Has a 5/6 detent in it and ambi safety. Gentleman had it set up like a 1911 in where the safety does not work as a decocker. Anywho, swapped out detent to 1/2 and safety to only left side......still will not decock.....what am I missing?? Thanks in advance, tried looking it up but my Google/Forum foo is weak by any standards! Been on here for a bit, sad that this is my first post!

I would remove the detent plate and put a thin layer of lube (not oil) between the backside of the detent plate where it rubs the frame. Then work it in a few times until the movement improves. Also check to make sure the sear axle is flush against the top surface of the detent plate.

Thank you sir, will give it a go. Especially the sear portion....that may be it, absolutely will not budge when attempting to safe it.

Hey man it's Shane the the guy who traded you
I thought I told you but I may have forgotten , it has the LEM sear in it ( it gave a slightly shorter reset) you'll have to put in the other sear and will probably need to back out the overtravel screw also....sorry

Lol, hey man...guess I should have contacted you first huh! No worries, that was my next guess....thanks for the clarification and responses. Feel like an idiot that this was my first post!

So it is a LEM (not DA/SA) and an HK45C with a stop screw? Or is it a USPc 45?

It's a da/sa, I put the LEM sear in it because it gave a slightly shorter reset and and overall travel (if I remember correctly) and a over travel screw

aisniper...no need to feel like a idiot, you would have no reason to think of it since I forgot to tell you
