Does the set trigger on a TC Patriot pistol usually need to be set before the hammer will latch in the half cock, or full cock position? I was loaned one with a broken seer in order to make a replacement. The tang that the trigger mechanism strikes to release the seer was broken off, but as far as I can measure, I have duplicated the original seer exactly.Since the new seer in produced on a CNC mill, I can easily make more so I started removing some metal on the underside of the seer tang on one of the prototypes. By time I had removed enough metal to allow the hammer to want to latch with the trigger not set, it no longer wanted to trip properly. Since I know some locks are designed to have the trigger set before the lock will latch correctly, I have come to the conclusion that this lock must be of this type.
