barrysuperhawk Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 I have an original p14-45 LDA with a trigger problem. I have 2 slides, and with the original it is 100% flawless, but with the replacement (also a 14-45 LDA factory slide) I am getting what would be in a single action trigger bounce or Hammer follow. 3 to 4 times in a magazine the hammer follows and despite the name the LDA really isn't double action. I know LDA slides are cut different than standard 1911, that's why I asked specifically sought out what that is presumably identical to my original. Right Now, my original slide is in, being cut for an optic, so I can't compare them yet, but I figured I would ask if anybody else here has had some experience with LDAs and might have an idea of what I should look at, because I have no clue where to even start.

jwhittin Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 A pic of the underside of the replacement slide might provide some clues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrysuperhawk Posted March 18, 2021 Author Share Posted March 18, 2021 Okay, here is the slide. Also, while taking these, I noticed that most of the time I could also cause the hammer follow just by pulling it to the rear and releasing it.

Toolguy Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Shouldn't there be a cut in the center for a disconnector? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barrysuperhawk Posted May 4, 2021 Author Share Posted May 4, 2021 I wonder if it might be drastically over-sprung? Is hammer bounce (or whatever it might be called) a thing on an LDA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrysuperhawk Posted September 17, 2021 Author Share Posted September 17, 2021 (edited) What a difference a couple of months makes. Ok, so here is an update, apparently my problem was a broken (breaking) hammer. As part of a completely different project, I had sent this gun (with both slides) off to be refinished and have one slide cut for an optic. I told the gunsmith what was going on, and we decided to have him do the work and then figure out what was going on afterward. During the test-firing, my hammer actually broke, requiring a replacement. With the replacement hammer installed, the problem is gone - without changing any springs or other parts, or doing anything else. So, Shout out to Prasky Gunworks for some awesome work (yes, I know the slides are swapped in these pictures).
