I am trying to figure out what is happening. The 1911 pistol will discharge a round when I hit the slide release.
I was at my private range when it happened. I had shot a few rounds and had one round left out of the box so instead of loading it in the mag I just dropped it in the chamber and hit the slide release and BANG! So I headed back home to see if there was a pistol problem or a shooter problem. I put an empty brass casing in the pistol with a live primer and tried it again. I chambered the case and hit the slide stop and the primer ignited. The hammer is not falling forward to hit the firing pin. It seems as if the sear may be rolled.... maybe the disconnector?
Anyway, I have a gunsmith friend that will be taking a look at it tonight but I thought I might run it by the experts here and see what some of the first things to check might be.
I am a cz shooter and haven't been around the 1911 style platform much. this is the first time I have ever had or witnessed an accidental discharge and I hope it is my last. BE SAFE OUT THERE!!!!
