Trigger problems with Talon SS safety
I have been shooting my used Talon SS for a few months, and the last time I shot it, the safety seemed to not disengage.
I could feel the hammer getting cocked, but when I would disengage the safety I could not pull the trigger. I would press the breech forward a few times and it would finally disengage
I have not disassembled the gun before, and I am about to install my new 18 inch .22 barrel.
What should I be looking for? What should I do? I prefer not to remove the safety.

I removed the safty bar, but now the gun seems to catch the interior safety occaissionally, and I have to point it down and hit it to get it to drop,.
I tried to punch out the pins that hold it in place with no luck. How do you get it out of there?

Around the house, I use the lock-ring from a milk jug and hang it on the knob. Reminds me that there’s a round in the barrel.
Yep, I did the same as those two. Load and decock while hunting.
If I am chasing a squirrel or something through the woods and don’t want to have to cock it as soon as I get stopped, I will cock it and leave the breech open all the way, then grab it so my thumb is right behind the cocking knob to hold it there. That way if it does try to shoot, the breech won’t be able to move much. Then when I stop all I have to do is pull the breech backwards and it’s ready to go.
I’ve removed the safeties from all of my rifles … best thing I ever did regarding that poorly designed cheap piece of crap that comes on these guns.
When hunting I put a pellet in the barrel and then uncock it. I leave the cocking knob standing straight up in line with the bore … at a glance I know there is a pellet in the barrel and that the rifle is on “safe” .. not cocked.
When it is time to shoot it is a simple deal to slide that cocking knob straight foward to prepare for the shot.
Something else to think about … when using the factory safety you are leaving the hammer spring cocked the entire time you are waiting for an opportunity to take a shot … by removing the safety and instead uncocking the rifle each time … you are relieving that pressure on the hammer spring ..
That way your hammer spring is “at rest” most of the time 😀
Yank the safety bar outta there. It’s pointless and unreliable.
What you do (after the safety is removed) is to cock it, load it, then put your thumb on the cocking knob while the breech is open. Holding the thumb steady, pull the trigger and let the breech slide gently backwards to home. You’re basically “decocking” the gun.
Try it with an unloaded gun a few times first, but you’ll get the hang of it right fast.
Just take the safety out and throw it away. 🙂
Be glad that’s your problem with it. Other people have the problem of when they take the safety off the gun shoots. 😯 Good way to kill your foot!
That little bar just sits in a notch in the frame and slides on the trigger guard.
It can pick up dust and crud.
Be careful when you take the trigger guard off. Observe how the safety bar and small spring are fitted.
My little spring fell on the floor 😯 Found it.
A little lube and my safety is better then ever 😉
Check you haven’t bent the bar that you push. Sounds like your not pushing the safety slide inside back far enough.

they only go one way if you look at the pins one end has barbs on it it need to be pushed so that the barbs do not go through the hole
