I'm not all that familiar with 1911's. The gun in question is an STI 2011 frame .45.
When I cock the hammer and depress the trigger, the hammer will only fall to the half-cock position and will go no further. Every now the hammer will drop all the way down to strike the firing pin when the tigger is pulled. I'd say it functions correctly only about 10% of the time....the other 90% of the time it will only fall to half-cock.
Anyone know what's going on here? I'm trying to avoid taking down all of the frame parts to figure this out. So, I figured I'd ask here first and see if anyone else has ever experienced this on a 2011 or a 1911 frame.
