The only issue I have when changing how I press the trigger with not enough finger is pushing the gun to the left, or if too much finger, pulling it to the right....Very strange!
I would send it back to HK. That is unacceptable in a new gun or any gun. I can see it being a safety issue as well with no safety and a trigger that is acting up.
The trigger never breaks; you can press it repeatedly and nothing happens.When the trigger is biased to the right, do you get the proper take up, trigger break and reset? I wonder if the connector has issues. I am speaking from personal opinion as I am not a gunsmih...
Nope, never releases.It goes all the way back but doesn't release the striker? I'd definitely get on the phone to hk.
Can you guys post a video of what is happening??I just purchased a new VP40 and am having the exact same issue described by the OP. I sent an email to HK about it but would be interested in if and how your issue is resolved.
I haven't posted video to a forum before but if I can figure out how to do it I will. I'm guessing the easiest way is to make one from your laptop camera or phone and put it on youtube and then link to it here somehow, does that sound about right? I'll try that method first I guess.
I should point out that after examining how things move with my vp40 disassembled, the trigger bar is going under the sear unless I push the trigger to the left as I pull it back, in which case it pushes the sear back properly. I can also pull slightly up on the trigger bar as I pull the trigger and the bar pushes the sear back instead of going under it. However, the trigger bar spring looks fine and is attached properly as far as I can tell, so I'm not sure exactly what is going on. Whatever it is, I'm sure HK will fix it, once they have the time to get back to me. I was just commenting mainly on this thread because I'd not seen anything else on the internet that seemed to be the same issue I am having.
To be clear, I have spent a long time researching before buying this handgun and am extremely confident that HK makes some of the best firearms available. I am sure I'm in a very tiny minority with this issue, and when I get it fixed (which I will do one way or another for sure) I will keep this pistol and continue to be very happy to own it. In other words, the purpose of my post is not at all to degrade the reputation of Heckler & Koch, of which I am a great fan. Just trying to interact with those more knowledgable than me.
I have observed similar behavior, although the sear being pushed back is seemingly random on my particular pistol when disassembled.I should point out that after examining how things move with my vp40 disassembled, the trigger bar is going under the sear unless I push the trigger to the left as I pull it back, in which case it pushes the sear back properly. I can also pull slightly up on the trigger bar as I pull the trigger and the bar pushes the sear back instead of going under it.
How about a view inside? Take the slide off and then rotate the takedown lever back to normal (very important to line the internals up to where they should be for firing), then record the trigger bar/sear area while reproducing both the "fail" and "success" trigger pulls. Might be able to see if something's not lining up right.
