First, I'd like to thank the genuine experts on this forum who have taken the time to answer my questions about handguns. My 1911 was jamming. Based upon the recommendations of the kind folks on THR I changed the recoil spring from 18.5 pounds to 16 pounds. I just got back from the range and she performed flawlessly.
Only, several times when I dropped the slide on a fresh clip, the hammer followed the slide down. It couldn't have anything to do with the new recoil spring, but maybe has something to do with the trigger job I had done about 2000 rounds ago.
When it was new (1978) I shipped it off to Clark Custom Guns for an accuracy job. I specified the trigger pull was to be 3.5 pounds. I'm thinking that might be too light. I sure would hate for the thing to go full auto on me.
What say ye?
Thanx in advance.
