need help for STI 2011

[cylryu]

After simple maintenance( cleaning and oiling, did not fully disassemble) of my STI 2011 pistol, it doesn't cock (hold back). I found out at range when i pulled the trigger it didnt fire until i manually cocking. And when i release my hammer my gun fire by itself. need some help for this.

Possible damaged sear or hammer engagement points.

If it was working OK before you took it apart the problem is likely the sear spring not correctly installed. Did you remove the mainspring housing?

Can you elaborate on the maintenance you did and what parts did you disassemble?

Sounds like your STI requires a check up by a competent 1911 smith.

If you are able to follow the video then you're almost there.

Check the disconnector for damage. If no damage clean the disconnector and the hole it goes in. Use wd40, qtip and compressed air to get all that gunk out. Check all the parts for chip or breakage. Check proper length of disconnector and leaf spring function(s).

i have watched this video and still doesnt work, i will bring it to gunsmith..thanks calgunners!

The problem you're experiencing could be just dirt or small foreign object in the ignition parts area. The 2011 doesn't have much parts. Where are you located at so someone can advise you of a local reliable and competent smith. There are some calgunners here that are very experienced with 1911/2011 that may help.

Check your sear spring.

This you need to either replace it or more realistically it just needs bent back into shape.

Search YouTube I would bet there are some great videos and some crappy ones. Watch them all you will get the jist.

If your still in Rowland Heights, JV Dynamics is in Corona and 1911 Speedshop in Riverside. Both can tell you what's the problem and can also provide you service for a nice match trigger.
