1911 newbie, 1911 go brrrr

From my experience it could need a stronger main spring and set up. Polishing unless you went crazy on it should only make it a cleaner break. By replacing the mainspring housing spring and the trigger/sear/grip safety spring that should make it lock the sear in to the trigger. I had a older 1911 do this when i first started tinkering with the triggers. Which gtanted you may have taken off more metal than you intended to but by replacing those two springs with a stiffer set you shoukd be able to keep the polished parts. You couod test this by bending the factory sear spring forward to cause more tension for testing but i would not recommended this as long term fix. The sear prong is the left side of the three part spring

There is a good reason to only load two rounds in the initial magazine of a used 1911 or one which has been worked on.

That IS a great tip. Thanks!
