NP at all Terry.I was concerned about the problem in case mine was a rebadged .22 to .25,(And I mentioned your problem as well)as this is a very unsettling issue.
Anything to help a brother out is what it's all about here,so I hope they get you Fixed up ASAP.
Thanks.

I don't think you have anything to worry about Troy, but ever since it happened to me with the TT .25, I pay real good attention to pointing all my Condors in a safe direction when taking the safety off. I always did before, but now I am more conscious of it I guess. It's not hard at all to take the safety off in most AF guns, but some might be slightly harder or easier than others. I usually disengage the safety by pushing it forward (towards muzzle end) with my index finger without removing it from inside the trigger guard.
However the safest way to do it, is to remove your hand entirely from the grip and trigger guard, and disengage the safety with your thumb. That is if you are a safety nut. This ensures that your index finger or any others are not near the trigger and will not accidentally discharge the gun.

I think your spot on Harry.I actually took it a step further on the weekend (as I wanted to see what the deal was inside there),so I took a peek and my Safety block is different than the ones I've seen posted in the past.My spring isn't pulling from the top front corner,It's a spring as big as the Trigger and Seer spring and it's Pushing,(Which makes me believe they changed it) on the later guns.In the picture below the first pic is what I thought it would look like,,But mine looks like the 2nd picture,so they must have addressed them since the problem.
I find my Safety pushes Off pretty easy, which surprised me after reading some of the older post's on the forum.I haven't has any complaints as it's even better now after as many shots as I've fired to date.
My Serial is BC05479,so I guess she's not an older model that may fall into that safety problem area,but ya never know.
Anyway,,I hope Terry get's his Fixed up!
Sorry for getting a bit off topic,,but I did want to post these in case anyone wanted to check there's and verify if they had the old Push/Pull style or the New Push/Push model.
Thanks
P/S: I'm starting a thread on this very subject as I'm really curious as to what's causing this problem.
