I was at the range last night working on my rapid fire for a bulls-eye match coming up this weekend. I was shooting 5 round strings and on 5 occasions I had a malfunction on the last round. After my fourth round fired the case was ejected and a new cartridge was loaded just as it should, but the trigger was locked. What I mean is that the trigger would not move. I switched to a two hand hold to make sure the grip safety was activated and still couldn't move the trigger. I checked the slide to make sure it was all the way forward, and it was. I then pushed on the magazine and the trigger worked and the cartridge fired. This happend 5 times with two different magazines.
This is a custom built 1911 by David Sams and has had about 4000 rounds through it with just a few problems here and there. The magazines don't usually drop free and often the slide does not lock back. I am using metal form magazines. This problem just started last night and I'm going to give the pistol and magazines a nice bubble bath tonight to see if that helps. This gun is cleaned often, at least after every 180 rounds.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any thoughts?
