Ok, here is a hypothetical.
A 1911 goes into the shop for a trigger job from a reputable smith with Cylinder & Slide parts (trigger, sear, sear spring, hammer, disconnector). It comes out with a crisp 4lb trigger.
Six rounds are loaded into the mag. The weapon is put on safe and walked to the line. The weapon is taken off safe and the trigger is pressed one time.
Five rounds discharge. The slide falls into battery on the sixth round but does not continue firing.
The weapon is put on safe and unloaded.
The magazine is now loaded with two rounds. The magazine is inserted, the slide is hand-cycled. The weapon is put on safe and walked to the line.
The weapon is taken off safe, the trigger is pressed, but the hammer does not fall. Pressing the trigger several times, the hammer finally falls to half-cock when the trigger is RELEASED.
Can someone give me an analysis of what could cause this type of hypothetical situation? Broken parts? Worn disconnector? Weak sear spring?
Thanks guys.
