I have encountered a problem on three ocassions after firing more than 50 rounds through my 45. When I pull the trigger, the trigger pulls all the way back feeling normal, but the hammer does not fall. When I make the weapon safe and point it down range, while putting some finger pressure on the rear of the hammer with the trigger depress the hammer will "break" and fall. After doing this the pistol operates again. The first time it happens I was shooting cheapo ammo (American brand hardball). Yesterday I was shooting S&B hardball and this happened twice. The pistol is customized by Gunsmoke in Colorado (I believe) and has the following mods:
Trigger Job
Polished feed ramp and barrel throated
Flared and lowered ejection port
Beveled magazine well
Dehorned
Tuned and adjusted extractor
18.5 lb Wolff Recoil Spring kit
I was wondering if powder fouling might be causing something to hang up. Any suggestions on possible problem areas? I emailed Gunsmoke the first time this happened and never got a reply and I today I find their web-site down, so I haven't got a phone number for them.
