Imagine my delight when I found my SFS equipped BHP was completely locked up, hammer wouldn't come back, slide locked, nada.  On close examination I found the tail of a small spring protruding below the left thumb safety.  By manipulating that little bit of spring I was finally able to get the safety down to the point the hammer would release and I could get the slide off.

Now, I liked the SFS system a lot, but I can't have this kind of problem going on.  Tomorrow I will disassemble the pistol and see where that little end of a spring is supposed to be, but for now my confidence in this design is really shook and I am ready to replace the original parts.

Anybody else have any problems like this?

It seemed like a fix to a problem that didn't exist.  IMHO.  But if it works for you.  I have no experience with one.

Yeah, I think past tense is the phrase, all right.

From your description it's not an SFS part but the safety detent spring.

If you field stripped your HP that little detent sometimes will pop out.

This is from Cylinder & Slide:  (I think its part #20)

No, the safety detent spring was ok.  I checked everything when I took the pistol apart last night.  It is back to the old hammer for me - I just can't afford this kind of problem again.
