Good Morning,
I wanted to pick your collective brains. About a week ago a friend and I went to the range and loaded up my old .45 with some 230 ball, regular factory stuff. After the second magazine my friend told me it was firing automatic. He said it let off 3 round with one pull. I thought he was pulling my leg. I was loading mags a few feet away and not intently watching. After three magazines I did not have this problem, I could not reproduce it. I tried single strong hand, single off hand, two hands tight two hands soft and could not reproduce it. Then he did it again, I was not able to reproduce again. Any thoughts. Taking the pistol home and cleaning it I did not see anything unusual. It is an old gun so any failure of the sear and such is not out of the realm of possibility.
