    How to solve unintentional doubling ?

    Thank you all for the extra advice on things to pay attention to. I was hoping to hit the range this past week-end but didn't get to do it. I'll try to keep all this in mind when I do. A few follow-ups below. Is this the over-travel adjustment ? Set it to allow more over-travel and a longer...

    How to solve unintentional doubling ?

    Nod. And I'm willing to do it. I was just hoping somebody had previously narrowed it down to a specific aspect to work on. At least with the snap cap idea I feel better about working on it without the risk of sending bullets into the ceiling or over the berm.

    How to solve unintentional doubling ?

    It did cross my mind that the SR45 allowed me to be complacent and get away with it. Then the 1911 is showing me I still need to work on it. It would make sense that removing the trigger finger should prevent a second shot. But I thought proper follow through included continuing the trigger...

    How to solve unintentional doubling ?

    However it first started, I would concur that it is now a form of flinch, as I am now somewhat apprehensive with the 1911. I hope the live round + snap cap exercise I'm thinking about can help me recondition my mind because I should know that it's safe. My experience has been shorter than a lot...

    How to solve unintentional doubling ?

    That's where I'm perplexed. I never gave it much thought and now I'm finding myself wondering if I need to go tighter or looser, or if it's something else entirely. I tried tighter but still had occasional issues. Maybe I need to go in the opposite direction and relax (not strangle it but not...

    How to solve unintentional doubling ?

    My friend tried the rented Springfield too, while a range officer tested to rented S&W (it was the same night at a range near my friend's place). Neither one of them had the same issue. The range where I shoot is usually desert (kinda nice but not helping me in this case). I might be able to...

    Current SR45 owner experiences?

    I called their Prescott, AZ Customer Service number 928-541-8892. The reason I had to contact them was that I was getting failures to feed with hollow points. Winchester Ranger T and Federal HST would sometimes jam on the feed ramp but Speer Gold Dot has been working fine. I sent it back...

    How to solve unintentional doubling ?

    My first reaction was to sideline my gun until I could call Ruger to have it checked. But after having the same problem on other 1911s it seemed less likely to be a mechanical problem and more likely that it was me (the only thing in common). I might yet call Ruger for piece of mind. Thanks for...

    How to solve unintentional doubling ?

    I've got an SR1911 and an SR45 among other guns. After firing mostly the SR45 in the past year (trying to figure out what factory or reloaded ammo it likes), I recently went back to the 1911. To my great dismay, I found that I am now firing unintentional double-taps. Not always but more often...

    Ruger SR45 Primer Issues

    I too was getting frustrated with failures to ignite (also on an SR45) until I ran into a similar explanation. After finding comments about hand-priming tools giving the user a positive tactile feedback, I decided to buy one. Now, with a better feel for when the primers are properly seated, I...
