Loose safety on a KJW hi-capa 5.1 : how to fix?

Hello,

The safety latch on my hi-capa 5.1 is loose. It seems to the cause of my pistol sometimes not firing as if the safety was engaged.

How to do I tighten it? Is there a way to do it without disassembling the whole thing? Putting it back together is always a bitch.

I am of course referring to the safety levers that are on both side of the gun, not the one that you press when you hold the gun by it's grip.

Does your safety get engaged by accident? Like it gets bumped into safe when you are firing? If this is whats going on, check to make sure you didnt lose the safety plunger that puts pressure on the safety lever.

There is no real way to tighten a safety. The only thing would be to try to make sure the pin that puts pressure on it is there and working. You could try using a stiffer spring so there is more pressure. Other than that the only thing could be buying a cheap safety and seeing if that works better for you.

What happens is that one of the two levers can come out about 2-3mm on the side of the gun when I pull when I pull on it and it feels loose compared to before.

I was playing in a game, having no problems at all and all of a sudden I wasn't able to shoot, just as if the safety was one.

Then I dry fired a few times (with and without the mag) and the same happened. In some cases I had to try 4-5 times in a row before the gun would work.
