Everyone knows that Judge Judy is a hack. Judge Milian is the real deal. (Or the OG, Judge Wapner.)
Guy takes a Sig 938 SAS to a Hogleg shop. What possibly could go wrong?
If the hammer resets while dry firing, there may be bigger issues.
Damn English language and it's damn homonyms.
I have used Hogleg before, and been happy with the experience as well as his helpful information and attitude. All work has been done on Semi- Autos. I am not biased towards Hogleg in the least bit, as I have other Smiths I use in the area as well.
However, I truly believe in there are two sides to the story, to reveal what actually transpired. I don't mean to disparage the OP, but I see some things that jump out as flags in the original story, that I would question to find out why. Not a slam or a flame, but in my profession, I always seek out the answer as to why in order to justify a statement or claim:
He charged me twice what he had quoted- Why? He charged you double for no reason? Was it modified by someone else beyond the factory specs where he had to do extra work to attempt to fix?
Took it back to him....days later he asks me "why do I think its not cocking"??? Seriously?! - Did you show him the problem when you returned it? Was it not doing the same thing as it did for you on the range?
Went and picked up the gun....now it has the hammer...locked in cocked position! He said here is your gun and gave me my money back- No reason given? Did he say he could not fix it? Were you a persistent come back customer caller asking if it was fixed yet (with a previously non fix issue) and he just did not want to deal with you? - Just asking on this, because I have seen it 100s of times before.

I meant dry firing/hand cycling the slide vs. when he test fired it after the work. I was wondering if it was limp-wristing or a dry slide causing a short stroke.
Cock is sensored but you can say short stroke and limp wristed? What has this country come to? Lol
cockeyed? halfcocked?
ETA- those work, so maybe you need to cocketate your hammer or cockize it or apply some cockization.
Apparently ebonics is not filtered.

........or 1874 Sharps or Remington 742 Woodsmaster. He got me years ago.
In all fairness, if Remington could not get the 742 right, I doubt if old Hogtie can either.
