I got a new M380.
After getting it, I doused it with gunscrubber trying to get the taurus gunk off.
After getting the taurus gunk off, I doused it with CLP.
The pistol has a pretty stout double-action-only trigger pull... and everything feels a bit gritty, as could be expected with a new revolver.
But I have a problem and a question. The problem is - The yoke does not stay in the pistol. If I swing it out sideways, as I would need to so that I could load ammunition, and point the revolver at the ground, it will slide out. At first, it would slide SLOWLY - and gritty -like. Now it slides faster, but I feel that perhaps it should not slide at all.
From looking at the schematic on the model 85, it seems that perhaps part number 42 COULD be the key - but only if there is some sort of retaining pin that slides in under it. I don't see anything like that on the schematic, and don't have anything like that on my model M380.
Can anyone tell me what should hold that yoke in? Should there be any sort of tiny spring/pin under that #42 sideplate retaining screw?
Thank you.
