I have a 1911 that is going full auto on me when it is fired or is the slide stop is dropped. The hammer is following the slide and contacting the firing pin. I have changed the hammer, trigger, sear, and trigger springs. I used a Wilson Combat drop in trigger kit with no change. Has anyone had this problem and what was the fix. Additionally, If I am unable to repair the gun, is there a good gunsmith in Sacramento that can remedy the problem without leaving my gun in the shop for a year.

I don't see the glass as half full or half empty. I see a glass that is the incorrect size. -
I don't know about one in Sac directly but there is/was a very good one in Woodland, but one listing I saw said they had closed?:

Inspect your disconnector. I suspect it is not engaging. Make double sure the 3 finger spring is installed correctly."A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself...A murderer is less to fear.

I am not super up on 1911's but does sound like a disco issue... I have a LEO buddy who got a trigger job done on his 1911 and it was going FA and it was a disconnector was bad.Comment

I had the same issue on my Para S16.. It was a bad sear spring. I guess I bent the darn thing somehow... Cheap easy fix but it took me a while to figure it out.sigpicComment

worn sear?
did somebody do a trigger job on it by chance?"You will never know how much it has cost my generation to preserve your freedom. I hope you will make good use of it."
