Here is a good one that I cannot figure out. On my brother-in-law's Colt Combat Commander, the slide will sometimes lock back and jam on the firing pin stop that seems to have slide down enough to catch the hammer on its return to battery. Is happening frequently now - at least once a mag.
What gives? I took it apart and the fire pin is fine and the firing pin spring looks good.
I looked at mine and just like his, the firing pin stop seems to be loose in there. But mine does not ever seem to come out. His gun has about 1200 rounds thru it.
I thought about dimpling the back of the firing pin stop where it fits into the groves to make it fit in tighter, but wanted advice before I do anything drastic.
Any ideas?
