I've been working on a Springfield 1911 in 9mm and it seems to be binding a bit towards the end of the slide cycle and sometimes catches on the disconnector, failing to go into battery sometimes. The recoil spring was a 9 lb spring, and I could occasionally hang it up on the disconnector by hand cycling. I tried a 10 lb spring, and was able to do the same thing. A 12 lb spring will put it fully into battery, but I haven't had a chance to test fire it. I've probably put 2-3000 rounds through it, and have polished the frame to slide fit. I've also broken it down well and polished the appropriate areas for a good duty type trigger pull, somewhere around 4.75 lbs.
Today as I was examining it closer, I noticed that even while the trigger was held back and the slide cycled, the disconnector stuck up a minute amount and was contacting the slide, making it feel bound. Is the disconnector sticking up that much normal?
I dont want to send it back to Springfield, as it is my duty gun and I need it daily.
