Hi-Capa 5.1 sticky trigger.

As stated in the title, my gun seems to have a sticking trigger and im not really sure how to fix it, so any help you all could give me, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Does the trigger return to full forward and not fire properly or does it actually get stuck rearward?

Is this problem consistent with every shot or intermittent?

it doesnt actually get stuck backwards, it just kinda takes longer than it should to return to resting, but sometimes it gets stuck back, and i just push the grip safety forward and it gets unstuck. It's not a real major problem, like it doesn't leak excess gas out or anything, it just sticks and makes it kinda hard to do double-taps and stuff like that

Sounds like you've pulled it apart...forget to put it back together properly?
You have a WE Hicapa correct?

Bend the leaf spring finger forward a bit so it applies more force on the trigger loop. It may also help to bend the trigger loop a bit more narrow so it slides in the grip better.

How are you not holding the grip safety forwards when you're shooting? It should be fully depressed when you grip the pistol properly.

I am holding the safety just sometimes when i let go, the trigger still sticks and i push it until it goes back out. And I appreciate the advice, but I dont know what those springs look like, or how to adjust them as you said

remove mag
remove the cross pin at the bottom rear of the grip
remove the hammer spring along with the part of the grip that hold it
the leaf spring the the weird shaped metal plate the is right there.

see this diagram here:

I know your gun is a WE but it's pretty much the same build for the grip as WA's

See part 72? That metal plate with three fingers coming from it? Bend the one on the left (kinda has a hook at the end of the finger) forward a little more, maybe like a cm further. Reassemble the gun and your sticky trigger should be good to go.

When you pull/knock that pin from the bottom of the hammer spring housing (i think it's part no 56) and grip, make sure the hammer is decocked. Remember to take note of how the fingers sit when you take it out/off of the grip. If you've lost your way when reassembling the fingers just remember that the first and second fingers sit on top of everything from the trigger sears.

well due to expierience, or lack thereof, i managed to screw up my gun while trying what you said p.phresh, i dont know how. but it wont help anything with the trigger, and when i put it back together, it wont even fire anymore. Like i cock the hammer and it just springs back up

the leaf spring is in the wrong position
make sure that each prong is sitting on top of something, and not under it;specifically, the sear
