Hello all, long timer lurker and first time posting. i have run into an issue with my Springfield Loaded model 1911. It functions fine on the range but i have noticed that when i rack the slide with any kind of authority the hammer has a propensity to drop into a half cocked position and locks up until re-cocked. sometimes it will do it even just using the slide release (usually only happens empty chamber/ no round going in) Any help would be useful.

NEVER supposed to drop the slide on an empty chamber!
You are likely seeing the effect that it has caused on the sear.
Check your sear and hammer engagement surfaces then check / adjust the sear spring.

Not right, call Springfield and send it back.  They have the best customer service in the business and don't drop the slide on an empty chamber.  Not good for 1911's

Thanks, only reason I hit the slide release was to see if I could duplicate it with out physically running the slide (I could) not something I make a habit out of, I've run glocks for years wanted to try something else with the 1911. Aside from this issue shoots like a dream and sexy as all hell.I'll get on the phone with SA this week.
