Someday I feel stupid because I can't remember tricks gunsmith have told me.
I have a 1911 which when I engage the thumb safety and hold next to my ear while I pull the trigger at the end of stroke I hear a click.
With safety in on position I recock hammer and I do not hear a click. (I don't think my sear is moving)
I took slide off and did same test and there is no click.
I have been taught this is a disconnect contacting slide and its pocket needs to be scraped deeper but a little contact will not hurt.
Does my logic check out?
If this seems like a crack addict wrote this rest assured I just suck at conveying thoughts together in writing.
