Question for Tuner

[1911WB]

Tuner, my question is about trigger reset time. Just got a new DW CBOB .45 ACP(Cmder. length 1911); and it's doing fine thru first 125 rounds. It has fed and fired everthing I've fed it thru a variety of mags. However, one of the things I do during break in of 1911's is after the first 100 rounds or so, I fire a couple of mags full as fast as I can. On my other 1911's I have done this without a hitch. However, I notice on the new pistol that I can fire 4 shots like that, then there is a "hitch" before I can fire the last 4. If I slow down just a little, no problem. I'm assuming this has to do with slow trigger reset time in the new pistol, or am I wrong?

Best regards, WB

Hitch

Howdy WB,

Sounds like maybe the trigger bow is dragging in the channel or the disconnect is dragging on the trigger stirrup. Can you get the gun detail-stripped to see how things are slippin' and slidin'?

Thanks, Tuner

Tuner, I appreciate your thoughts as always. However, when it comes to things in the bottom half of 1911's, I leave them to my 1911 'smith. Also, possible that whatever may be rubbing will clear itself up during the rest of the break-in process (several hundred more rounds to go). Thanks again, WB

WB, The trigger channel may just need a cleanin'. You can try a quick little somethin' to see if it helps. Mag out...slide locked...Use a can of WD40 and the straw to spray around the trigger bow. You can see it in the channel through the magwell with a good light. If it helps, follow it up with a little carburetor cleaner and let it air-dry overnight...then use a little Rem-Oil and drip dry.
