| pistol firing automatic
my custom carry elite today at the range decided to shoot fully automatic, it has not been shot since the last field strip and cleaning i took it apart at the range and did not see anything out of the ordinary, i have been told the spring and firing pin could have a problem and the shear could have a problem. what would be the actual cause, the spring and pin look fine. have heard that this has happened to other 1911 45's but i dont know the reason.

If it is a "II" model it might also be somethng to do with the firing pin safety. Either way you need to get it to your smith or back to Kimber ASAP.

check your trigger stop set screw. I had the same thing happen to me and all I had to do is screw in the stop screw in a little. I did take it back out and added some locktite to it and reinstalled.

VERY IMPORTANT!!! Before you try to fire your pistol again, load only 2 rounds of ammo in the magazine. This way, if it should go full auto again, the possibility of it getting out of control and someone getting hurt is less. Also, I would remove the firing pin and spring and clean the journal, pin and spring well with a good solvent and pipe cleaner, then I would use a lubricant designed for guns and put a light coat on the firing pin before reassembly. Let us know how you make out. Kudu40 |
