Changing the grip on a P32 |
|
|
|
Continuing with the P32 grip replacement instructions. |

Slide the receiver into the grip until the outline of the slide stop spring is ready to slide inside the grip, like the photo on the left. Carefully compress the spring from the top down into the gun until the spring fits back into the recessed slot. Be careful not to fling it out, we're tired of looking for springs by now! |

Onc the spring is in place, continue to slide the receiver into the grip, past the spring and holding it in place until it fits almost snugly into the grip. But don't put the frame pins in yet! We still need to engage the hammer block with the hammer! If you don't do this your trigger will not drop the hammer when pulled! You will essentially have a disabled gun. We don't want that. |

This step doesn't require a part, but is simply a procedure. Pull the rear of the receiver back out of the grip slightly, enough so that you can stick your screwdriver back down between the the grip rear end and the receiver. You have to push the hammer block forward, compressing the hammer block spring. When you have the block pressed foward enough, slowly move the slide back down until you only have space for the screwdriver, then pull it out and seat the receiver completely down into the grip. At this point you can carefully test to see if the trigger has engaged. Pull the hammer back a little bit until it locks to the first position, then pull on the trigger slightly to see if it lifts the hammer. If it does, you did it right. Don't dry fire it without the slide attatched. If the hammer doesn't move, you need to try engaging the hammer block again. If the hammer won't move, the trigger won't fire. Be careful while doing this that you don't scratch up the hammer block with your screwdriver; you don't want to damage the surface.. |
