Hello to All,
I have a thread running about a 1911 pistol just returned from factory repair with FTRB problems. Working that out.
My unusual problem is that when I went to test the pistol after polishing the extractor I got about halfway through the box of 100 WWB and the slide wouldn't go into battery. Noticed that the firing pin was sticking out and that the firing pin plate had dropped down about halfway. Looked over the firing pin and spring, looked normal as when I got it. Tight end against the firing pin rear.
What would cause this (accepting opinions). I replaced it with a Wolff extra power firing pin return spring which was significantly longer. Help again!
