Okay, nobody else wants to go there, so I guess I will. If you take an overview of single trigger systems over the years in many different brands and designs, it opens a controversy over mechanical and inertial. Many mechanical trigger designs are actually inertial. The primary sear must disengage to allow the trigger to contact the secondary sear. The motion of the trigger travel is often enough "inertia" to reset. In some cases the primary sear will hang up and not clear without additional inertia, inthis case the effects of recoil will usually cause the trigger to reset. If it does not then the sear contact surfaces need to be adjusted. Of all of the sst designs out there, I would have to rate the Parker system as one of the most reliable designs. Iam confident that your A-1 will reset and work just fine. If not the repair is a minor adjustment.
