Re: 1911 problem
Most likely a worn out sear.
Very dangerous condition. It will probably go full auto or at least double or triple if you shoot it. get it to a 1911 gunsmith ASAP.

Re: 1911 problem
Check your sear spring.
I taught Chuck Norris to bump-fire.

Re: 1911 problem
Did you remove the mainspring housing for any reason? Is the disconnector protruding or staying down in the frame?

Probable the sear spring. Take it apart again and put it back together right.

Re: 1911 problem
If the problem occurred after you took it apart its probably the sear spring. Try and go to a bookstore or get a hold of a book on .45's.Like Hallocks .45 Auto Handbook. Most have diagrams of the proper angle of the spring and hammer hooks. Bend to specs. and try it. If you have another sear spring that you know works and was not altered use it. Also make sure you place the spring properly before you close the housing.
