Hey everyone's how's it going? I
havent been on this forum long but
so far it's been great everyone's
been friendly and helpful and very
knowledgable. As for me I don't
know that much about handguns.
i always hunted with my dad growing
up so know a little more about long
guns, but I like to target shoot
and have a handgun around
for home protection. I've had a
glock 21sf .45 but had to much kick
for my tiny wife. So I switched to
Sig 229 Elite stainless in 9mm
and she can shoot it great. But
gun was pricey so have to sell
glock and this tec 22 sport I
to pay the bills. The only problem
is the tec 22 won't shoot. It looks in
great shape and I always kept it
cleaned and oiled but now it just clicks
when I pull the trigger. Like I said
i have very minimal knowledge on
the inside workings of guns, first
thing that came to my mind was the
firing pin or spring but since it
clicks I figured more like the pin.
does anyone have any advice
for me on figuring out what part
is actually bad. And if so is it something
i could fix myself or would I need to
take it in somewhere. If I do need to
take it in does anyone know a good
gunsmith or someone that works on
guns relatively cheap in northwest IN
in the Merrillville area or within 20-30
miles. I've never had to take a gun
in before but if was say the firing
pin what would be the cost if I had
to take it in, just ruff estimate.
Money is tight right now had first
Cancer surgery may 6 and found
I need at least one more coming up
soon, I just called local gun store
to see how long before their
gunsmith could look at it and he
said 6-8wks are they all this long?
Thanks for any advice and have
a good rest of the weekend.
