So DasFriek, just for clarification, you think it's OK for their custom shop to send me a gun that has hammer follow.......... yes, hammer follow with an empty gun.
I don't even want to shoot the thing......I don't trust the work at this point. Hopefully Mr. Williams will do the job himself when it returns.
As a matter of fact, NO i don't think its ok for them to send a gun that does that.
"That" being defined as "Dropping the slide correctly on a snap cap for safety or a live round pointed safely away".
You gotta realize Its pretty darn tricky and many times takes many tries to get a 3.5# trigger especially if it uses a firing pin safety block which adds another step in the release of the hammer.
Just shooting the gun can and has for me worked a trigger job "in" to where i could drop the slide and get no hammer follow with a very light pull. After it repeatedly would fail dropping on an slide empty But would pass with a snap cap in the mag. Shooting can settle and seats the parts in place.
In saying that, My anger amount would depend on this.
Does the hammer follow to half cock? or all the way home?
If its slamming all the way home on a snap cap the following will happen.
Depending on your firing pin safety and if it uses one you may have nothing happen if it slams home as the FP safety should stop it from firing. If yours has no FP safety it will go full auto had a live round be in the chamber and that would highly make me mad.
Im not a gunsmith and ive said that before, But i have done a few 1911 trigger jobs on MY OWN GUNS ONLY. And ive learned a few things the hard way. And getting a 3.5lb trigger is no easy task and a little adjustment may be required to get it perfect.
Just the gun being jostled hard during shipping could have affected how your gun was tuned from the Custom shop.
I and a few hundred people here could tell you how to adjust the sear spring to tighten it up a bit and it will eventually lighten up with shooting and then the trigger will have worn in and have no issues.
But unfortunately i think you will have to either test and accept the finickiness of a light trigger job and its need for further adjustments, Or test it like they will and if it passes shoot it like they will and have the same end result which will be a nice trigger.
The main thing is safety, If you don't feel its safe then send it back as you cant put a price on that. And make them pay for it also.
BTW- Dont ever buy a bolt action target gun and ask for a 5oz trigger pull if you think you are having no fun now.
