Got my Sistema 1911A1 yesterday. No trigger, safety, or sear/hammer problems were evident. Field stripped and cleaned and fired 50 today without problem. I saw a bit of oily rust oozing from around the hammer pin and the mainspring housing so I decided to detail strip and clean. All came apart OK. There was a brazed section on the mainspring(!) so I decided to replace it with a new Wolff spring I had. All went back OK except I had difficulty getting the hammer back in (the directions I used were unclear whether the hammer should be in cocked or released mode and I did it wrong I think). Other than dirt and rust removal and new sear spring I changed nothing. I cleaned the sear edge and hammer hooks with a Q-Tip.
Now I get hammer-follow to the half-cock notch every 3 or 4 times I rack the slide. There is no obvious damage, at least to my eye, to the sear or hammer.
Help.
