    Yeah, honestly I didn't know this was an issue with 1911s. I've never owned one and it's a good thing too, because I most certainly would have ruined it by now.

    It appears ir could be a hammer follow issue. Hammer followed 1 of 3 times. Hammer caught on the half cock notch tho.
    Guess I need to give you some more business Bert.

    Hammer follow sounds like the consensus. Never had this issue in any of my 1911's, so I can't say definitively.

    I've had an ND as well. About seven years ago. I thought I had downloaded my firearm at the range, pointed it back down range and pulled the trigger to drop the hammer. Talk about something that seriously will wake you up.

    I don't make the rules. I just think them up and write them down.
