[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 4095039, member: 1132"] With no overtravel screw to interfere, something else is preventing the sear from clearing the "half-cock notch". The back end of your trigger bow, the disconnector, sear spring and the bottom "ears" of your sear, all have to play well together in order to get reliable ignition. So your issue could be anything from a piece of debris, worn, weak or broken finger on your sear spring, broken sear pin, you name it. Until you get into the guts of it and clean/inspect everything, it's tough to diagnose over the internet. You might be able to blast it out with some gun scrubber and get it functioning again with some lube, but you may not know if there's an actual issue preventing it from functioning correctly as soon as it gets fouled again/ Obviously if you're not familiar with the detailed disassembly of a 1911 fire control group, it's best to take it to a qualified gunsmith for diagnosis. If you're pretty adept at mechanical wizardry, you can always watch some Youtube videos and DIY, just make sure to do all the safety and function tests when you get it back together. Obviously if it's beyond your expertise, you can always take your Box-O-Gun to a qualified smith then. Here's a decent short article on how it's all supposed to work. Good luck!
