So 1911 Guru's what would cause this to happen in more detail?

So 1911 Guru's what would cause this to happen in more detail?

Sear and hammer!
Could be as simple as a sear spring.

Sear not engaging the hammer hooks.

Sear not engaging the hammer hooks.

Thanks guys.
So the possibility of this affecting all 1911's they listed is a matter of if the part was not fitted correctly? Or in the case of the spring is it to weak?

I'd think that Tisas either got some bad lots of these specific parts or if per chance they manufactured the parts that were problematic themselves maybe had some tooling issues at the time. Thinking more than likely the former and they got some out of spec parts. Just my 2 cents.

My nephew has a gun on that list IIRC.
We fired it over 500rds when he was here visiting this summer. It didn't seem to have a problem.
I sent him the information on the recall.

And guessing all of them even in that range won't exhibit the issue, just that they had parts from the lots, etc that they are considering to have the issue. Might only have been a few in that range that will ever see the issue. But in this situation better to be sure.

Probably a tolerance stacking issue that left the sear or hammer hooks just a tad too short to engage.

Nothing wrong with a little unexpected full auto. I have seen it. It is very entertaining.

Names will not be disclosed...

It happened to me when I was attending the Small Arms Repairman course at APG. I was tasked with diagnosing the problem in the supplied pistol with 5 rounds into our shooting tunnel. I came back smiling and the civilian instructor asked me the problem? I answered back with: I need a 100 rd bag of ammo to figure it out. The instructors all cracked up when I told them that! Of course they knew who was getting what malf when they handed them out...

With the selling price of these guns, this recall does not suprise me.
Lower end 1911s always get gutted and the internal parts replaced with quality parts.

Tisas has good metal quslity parts already in it.
Only one mim part and thats a recoil spring guide.
These guns are a really good value for the money.
Unlike sprinfield thats full of cheap mim parts.
The recall is something simple like improper heat treating of the sear spring.

I didn't know that about Tisas.
Thanks for the instruction.

I had the full auto experience with a P14.45 about 30 years ago. Full auto was not the bad part; it was a split-second WTF, followed by the gun blowing up in my hand. IIRC, I got 7 stitches to my support hand, at the base of my thumb. Oh, and a tetanus shot.
