I actually, its both forward and rearward strokes.

I've heard that the Zero Hammer is notoriously hard to install and doesn't function all that great after the fact... Perhaps this was on early revisions... I have not tried it for my self due to being told this.. but I have a feeling its similar... feel free to correct me if anyone knows more than I do...

ShooterDesign hammer spring is a great choice, imo... seems to be the choice of many as well...

The binding sounds like its the nub that sticks down from the BBU that goes across the hammer roller... I made that nub a little less aggressive and polished it a bit... seemed to help the catching issue but i think its impossible to get rid off completely.... Is it catching when you pull the slide all the way back and release?... or are you helping/holding it along during the slide return?

If i pull the slide all the way back and release it it goes back into battery fine. Even though its fine it slightly decreases my cycling speed. If i ride it gets stuck until i tap it. I just don;t like how hard it is when i pull the slide back.

Well you could try what I did... but, you'd have to be careful, obviously... to far and it wont cock the hammer anymore... and then you'll be looking for a replacement or another mod...

I'd be interested in seeing who has been able to solve this issue completely as well... as mine sticks a little in the same spot during return even after the modification (only when you ride the return) but it cycles well under normal operation...

I've only tried Guarder, and I've found no reason to switch...

Does your hammer catch the bottom of the blowback unit causing the slide to stick? Mine does. It still shoots perfectly but its very stiff when I rack the slide.

RacingManiac · January 6th, 2012, 00:19

Stick in what way? Does it impede function at all?

It still functions perfectly when i shoot it. But when i pull the slide back i have to use a little more force than usual to chamber a round. Its where the bearing contacts the bottom of the BBU. When I pull the slide all the way back and then release it it chambers fine but it just feels really sluggish.

RacingManiac · January 6th, 2012, 00:30

Even 1911 does that.....I am not sure that is a problem per se...

I don't think so... a 1911 shouldn't be that stiff. I mean I have to pull real hard to rack the slide. After the BBU rolls past the hammer bearing its smooth but when it starts contacting the BBU it just stiff again.

Have you ever tried to rack the slide of a real gun before?

You'll cry, if you feel that racking an airsoft gun with upgraded springs is tough.

Lift some weights.

The question is, have you racked the gun before you upgraded?
Have you racked another Glock? lol

I know what you're referring to, though. It's sometimes a bit concerning, and it does create more wear to the blowback unit.

Regarding the Guns Modify Zero Hammer - I've heard of the same issues as well. Some of my gunsmith buddies in HK polish the crap out of it before hand and file out edges that create restriction. Some say it needs a "break in" period first, but I say that's a brute force approach to something that should be properly machined to begin with. Other 'smiths agree, and rather than wear out other parts with this "break in period", they work the item in prior to installation to ensure smooth functioning from the get-go.
