So I just picked up a used Dark Hawk with a few extra mags and some green gas knowing the only problem was that it would not fire when the trigger was fully pulled back. I assumed that there was maybe something blocking the trigger, but as far as I can tell, there isn't. It seems to me, that the part that hits the hammer does not go back far enough. but the trigger does not seem to be impeded by anything unusual. When I pull it back, I have to push it forward just a little bit for it to cycle.
Update: It fired! Once. After several hundred (Thousand?) trigger pulls with the mag in. No idea why.
Also, the slide gets stuck when it's racked all the way back, even without the mag in. The only way to un-stick it is to pull the trigger, or to add a little force to push it forward.Fixed. Just took out the recoil rod and outer barrel then put it back in.

Sounds like a bent trigger bar (bar on the right side of the frame that moves). Not an a uncommon problem. You would have to take it apart and take pics for further diagnosing.

Sounds very similar to a problem I had with my TM G17. Like Drewroud said, it's likely a bent trigger bar. The TM one mine came with was a very malleable metal, and bent very easily, so that pulling back on the trigger would only give a small click, no shots. You can bend it back to usability, but it's a better option to just buy one of these, assuming it's compatible: www.evike.com/product_info.php?products_id=38258 |

Any idea on how I would take it out?

Sorry for the spoonfeed, but which way do I bend it? Cause I am trying to bend it outward (Towards the hammer place), but it's not really working.

Look at the rightmost part in this image. It should look exactly like that, not bent forwards or backwards.  |

Well, mine looks exactly like that for the most part.
Fixed! I bent the back of the trigger lever forward a little, and that was enough for it to shoot.
