Disconnector leg of the spring. Disconnector is likely not resetting (remaining in the 'down' position).

Remove the slide and push down on the disconnector tip. Is there any spring resistance at all? If not, that chip is likely the problem.

If there is resistance, it could be that the spring, though chipped, is still doing it's job, but the disconnector is not returning to the proper position.

I'll have to go look up the protrusion dimensions for that one, and you could also check the half moon slot on the underside of the slide - make sure it's not full of debris which prevent the disconnector from returning to its proper position.

Why the tip of the leg broke, I'm not sure. Could be crappy metal, I suppose. :/

Ordered a Sear spring for 12 bucks. If that doesn't work I'll contact RIA and send it in. I do appreciate the info

Sure. I'll post pictures of the spring tonight so you all can see what I'm talking about.

Here is a pic of the sear spring. I suspect that middle part is the culprit.

Glad it worked out for you; be sure to run a function check and make sure the hammer doesn't follow if you drop the slide.
