Scott,

Shaking the gun and it fires! Sounds unsafe and when safety is a concern I suggest you get it to a professional someone that can find and fix the problem. At this point, at least to me, it sounds like it is NOT something for an armature, or even a non-Parker, gunsmith to undertake.

Firing unexpectedly is much different that not firing when you expect it to!

A gunsmith is much cheaper than a lawyer here in the good old U. S of A.

Robin- This is with snap caps, not live ammo. Point is there seems to be something not moving as it should at this angle, weak spring or lack of any lubrication on trigger assembly as the brake cleaner removed everything back to bright metal. Thanks,

Scott, I have to agree with our resident non expert Bruce. Single triggers are nothing to fool with. If after a thorough cleaning you are still having problems do yourself a favor and send it to Del Grego.
