As the title states, the hammer on this 1911 has front to back play while the slide is off and the hammer is decocked. If I cock the hammer back, all play goes away. When the gun is assembled, there is no play and it functions fine. I don't know how long it has been like this, maybe always, I just noticed it today. I have a few other 1911s and none of them do this. I went online looking for an answer and I found comments on other forums of some people who say it is normal, others who say it isn't. I am curious if my gun is damaged or potentially unsafe to shoot as I do not know a whole lot about 1911 internals and their nuances between makes/models. Any help/comments apreciated.
I uploaded a short video on youtube showing the issue I am talking about.
