| beavertail issue
Kinda new here and its been a long long time since I've worked on a 1911. I have been assembling a frankenpistol of sorts and thought everything was going smoothly until I had it completely assembled. When depressing bottom of the beavertail ( Wilson drop in) it will disengage the sear allowing the hammer to fall as though the trigger is being pulled. If I don't touch the beavertail and squeeze the trigger the thumb safety works just fine. I searched many a thread and haven't seen this issue addressed. As I'm not one to take a weapon to a smith any more then my car to a garage, please , someone shed a little light on this. Many thanks.

| not the beavertail
Well 160 some views and no help but that's ok as I think I figured it out. Removed the beavertail and cycled the slide a few times. As the hammer followed the slide as opposed to locking up on the sear, I then went on to address the sear and hammer. Turns out that was the issue. Moral of the story, don't build a 45 with ebay parts kits. Invest in quality parts then abuse them
