So you're saying even after the weapon has been charged you can't move the selector? Pull off the grip and inspect the selector spring and detent. If you want to pull the selector out with the trigger still installed, cock the hammer by hand first.

The spring isn't underneath the grip screw. When you remove the grip you will expose the spring, it's on the right side of the lower receiver. You didn't see a spring either stuck in the side of your grip or sticking out of the lower?
