Hello,
This is my first post here and I hope I'm putting it in the right place...I've read posts here before on hammer follow but I couldn't find them, to add to, because I Googled it. I own an Essex 1911 with an unnamed slide and have hammer follow problems. I've read the posts here about it. So, I'm going to get a Clark 4 leaf spring, a McCormick sear, and a Fusion disconnector and replace what I have hoping that will fix the problem. I've never shot it, but upon slide release, this problem occurs, however not all the time. It appears the previous owner ground on the disconnector with something. So...to be safe I'll just replace my parts with the ones I have listed. I'm no gunsmith, but I don't think its impossible to replace these parts. So if I sound like an idiot please let me know, and if you gentlemen think this will work or not, please let me know. I thank you all for your time, and any knowledge would be appreciated. Thanks
-Philip
