A buddy brought me a Hi Power by just now. He recently sent it out to have the slide reblued and a set of Novak sights installed. Work is beautiful and was very reasonable. He took it out to shoot for the first time since getting it back this last weekend and it would not fire!

First thing I thought of was that the mag safety (yeah, I know, I told him to pull it) was malfunctioning but that does not seem to be the case. What DOES seem to be a problem and something that would have been taken down in the work done is that the sear lever spring was not replaced in the slide.

Guys, I know the gunsmith that did the work really well and he is VERY good at what he does. He has done much work for me as well. But anyone can make a mistake. Thankfully my buddy took his gun out to check before he just threw it in his holster and started carrying it on the street that way.

PLEASE check your guns regularly and especially after ANY work or modification, even something as simple as grip replacement.
