I need a 1911 tech guru
I recently swapped out the mainspring housing on my 1911 S&W… added an arch to make it more user friendly
finally got around to the range to do some more shooting a couple days ago and made an interesting discovery, well 2 actually.
my 10 round magazines have decided to not feed properly so now there are a couple shiny pieces of debris out in the corn field. … they were cheap when I got ‘em, so not a huge surprise or loss.
the significant discovery is that while the stock mags feed just fine, the first hammer drop after a mag swap has no earth shattering kaboom. After about 6 or 7 of those, I gathered up the rounds with scuffed primers and refilled a magazine. First round click, with all the rest feeding and firing perfectly.
I can’t see any reason for the hammer to have less force on the first drop than it does on all the others.
Any ideas?

random rule change
went down to the shall issue office with a handful of otherwise useless paperwork yesterday.
sigh
note this is the pile of useless documents I didn’t have the last time I was there
sigh
so, I’m stuffing my completed forms and supporting documentation into the little metal safety bin and looking at the highlighted portions of the requirements list (printed and highlighted by the person inside the fishbowl) to make sure I’ve got everything…..
sigh
and she informs me those documents are not what I need. Instead I need a picture ID with current address.
sigh
dunno why I even try to deal with these people
