Hello all, I went to the range today with my 1911 and my 22lr kit, and my CZ 9mm.
I put 100 rounds thru the CZ and then switched to my 1911 with the 22 Kimber kit on it. I ran that with 22lr for near 200 rounds. Then I removed my Kimber kit, and put my 1911 back to it's normal self, as a 45.
Now, I have never owned a 1911 or a 45 before this, and I have only had this gun for 2 weeks. I have other pistols and have experience, just not with 1911s. While working on my accuracy, I had 2 rounds go off almost as if it were full auto for a second. I became a bit startled, but continued to empty the mag without any incident. I thought, well a full auto 1911 would be neat if I were to expect it. Then I stopped and thought what caused it. I got a little excited thinking about the glock meltdown video. Then while reloading I began to seriously ponder.
After thinking it thru, I figured that being I was just shooting 22lr, I was getting lazy, and didn't have the proper grip when shooting, which may have caused a "slide fire" type reaction where the gun moved in my hand and activated itself. The second shot of that sequence was on paper, but not thru my skill, just because it was pointed in that general direction for the prior shot.
I finished the rest of my time and ammo without any more such incident. I doubt my gun malfunctioned. More likely that I did.
I have never experienced this before, although my only other calibers ( in pistol) are 22lr and 9mm.
Has anyone ever had this occur? Is my thought of a loose grip likely?
Thank you
Rich
