Now what have I done? Sometimes I think I could break an anvil with a feather.
This Sat. night I was doing my usual drill when I discovered that a pistol of mine, a Colt Custom 1911, remodeled by Cylinder & Slide, decided to act up. On the last shot the trigger would not reset and the slide would not lock back.
I was using my training mags (Wolff springs and Pach followers) but it also occured in my carry mags (Les Baer 7 rders). I had lubed the weapon on Friday night the night before as I do for all my 1911s and back ups. I use Kellube on the contacts and Kel silicon spray for everywhere else and have been for years. The weather was mid 30s, windy, but not rain or snow. I was shooting Black Hills ammo.
Why the last round? What's wrong? Never had this happen. Gunsmith is on vacation (he should have a pager with me around). Any tips?
Thanks much.
