meu question (and possibly all 1911 varients)

[BALBOSA]

why do they lock back to this position? the way the slides built it looks like its a design feature and not just a sticky slide is there a reason for this? the eonly one i can see is that it locks back enough to push the coupling pin out but it doesnt come back for enough for that

any answers?

thanks in advance

heres a pic

my Tm meu mate slide all the way back ,

make sure you have nothing jammed in the slide as that is not the right position

should look like this

check the hammer is not fouling the rear underside of the slide/blowback mech !

pull hammer down and hold it down while trying to push the slide rearward

no no guys it does go back all the way and locks back it just does this too =/ its weird it looks like its sposed to, the hammer does lock it back in the picture

the slide is just caught on the slide release mate, instead of the slide stopping at the rear most, it is somehow catching on the strip down pins notch

its definitely the hammer you can see it go down then up when you pull the slide back its not a problem it just looks like its sposed to do it which is why i was asking

Ahh yes ,most 1911s will catch on the hammer if eased forward slowly

Re: meu question (and possibly all 1911 varients)

yeah its only slowly it does it as i say its not a problem at all but the underside of the slide has a little lump which looks like its built to accept the top of the trigger when it comes back slowly its hard to explain

I know exactly what you mean mate . If i'm thinking for the correct part it is part of the disengagement system for the hammer mech

its the small arm the latch's onto the hammer bar mate,

[1st commando]

Re: meu question (and possibly all 1911 varients)

nothing has come loose ,all 1911s will do this straight out of the box

Re: meu question (and possibly all 1911 varients)

my meu hammer doesnt move at all when its been racked ......
the slide doesn't stick at all on the movement

Re: meu question (and possibly all 1911 varients)
