Hello all,
I’ve got a 1911 question.
I’ve got a series 70 gun that has just recently started having problems.
It seems that the trigger doesn’t reset on the last shot of the magazine and a bump to the mag well area with my finger off the trigger lets it reset and fire that last round.
My first line of thinking is that it’s a disconnect problem so I detail stripped the gun and Very lightly went into the disconnect channel with a fine needle file to see if I could locate any burrs. After this, I bent the center leg of the sear spring inward just a little to put more pressure on the disconnect.
I took the gun to the range and while dry firing, and holding the trigger rearward while cycling the slide and then releasing the trigger to let it reset, it seemed to reset with more authority, live fire produced many failures to reset on the last round.
I’ve got a new sear spring on order but I was wondering if I’m looking in the right direction here.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
