currahee1911 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Hi, Sig 1911, from slide stop or full slide draw and release: hammer frequently drops not with sufficient force to bust a cap; but gun stays in the safe for now. What to look for? Thanks, C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandrooney Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Try adjusting the sear spring tighter which is the left leg on the spring under the main spring housing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
424D57 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 If the trigger has a pre-travel adjustment tab check that as well. -424D57 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Miles Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 If it's a relatively new one, contact Sig and send it back for them to warrenty. Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parallax3D Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 (edited) Could be about 3 things. 1. Insufficient sear spring pressure on the sear. Bend the left leg of the sear spring forward to increase pressure until it doesn't follow. 2. Insufficient sear spring pressure on the disconnector is causing trigger bounce. (You can verify this by holding the trigger back and dropping the slide. If the hammer does not follow, then it's usually trigger bounce. Increase the pressure on the center leg of the sear spring until the hammer does not follow. 3. Something could be wrong with the sear or hammer geometry. Better to take it to a gunsmith unless you know what you're doing and have the proper tools to fix it.

jrbet83 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Is the trigger job stock and what is the estimated trigger weight? Reason I ask is messing around with sear spring tension is common if your dealing with a light trigger job and you know what are doing. However if your trigger is in the 2.5lb+ range, there's no reason it should follow. If its stock, I agree with Pat, send it back. May try pulling the trigger group apart and doing a cleaning, to make sure there isn't a piece of debris causing an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandrooney Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Does the hammer follow when you shoot it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troupe Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 What is your mainspring, it sounds to light if you are not getting ignition. What type of primers, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
