Brand New CBOB. 2012 Model. Hammer Follow while firing!!!

[dw1911]

My Brand New CBOB has 5 occasions TODAY of the hammer following the slide back during firing! Factory mags, Wilson mags, CM Mags. Out of ALL the 1911's I own, MANY Dan Wessons. I have never seen one do this. It has about 250 rounds thru it since factory new. Weird problem too. Up till today it was fine, suddenly when I load it up and fire a round, the hammer instead of being cocked back for the next round is sitting at rest on the firing pin. Did this 5 times. If I cock the hammer then by hand, it's ok for the rest of the mag. Next mag, does it again! Shooting like I always do, my V-Bob was with me . It did NOT do it. Federal 230 grain FMJs.
I reckon Keith will have to get it back and fix it up! I plan to email & call Him about it
Anyone else experience this issue?
Thanks,

My guess it is simply the over-travel adjustment screw that needs tweaking. I have had it happen as well. I believe Keith has talked people through the adjustment before. I wouldn't worry too much just yet. Have faith in the great DW!

I hope you are both right. But I do not know how to adjust it correctly.
I'll try and get hold of Keith.

After checking my triggers on all my Dan Wesson 1911's. I do not think the over travel screw is the problem. I don't know WHAT it is. But the Problem is very REAL and disturbing as well.!
I'm confident it will be resolved though!

Yeah, like that will happen! Keith emailed me instructions on setting the over travel screw, He's probably right. I'll try it!
P.S. I won't buy any Mimbers so there will be more for you!

I have to agree, my 08 cbob had the same thing.

Interested to see if that fixed it. Good luck with it. Hold on tight when you pull that trigger the first time!

Oh I will! A Death Grip! I'll only load a couple rounds the 1st mag too.
I too am curious if this fixes the problem. If not, it goes back to Dan Wesson I guess.
I believe Keith knows what He's talking about.

It passed!
By the way, any of you that are having Magazine troubles with your Dan Wesson Factory Mags, I had a couple that had Failure to feed on the last round on my VBOB, it had the stainless folllower witout a dimple. I ordered 2 followers from Checkmate, these are their Teflon Coated with a dimple. They worked flawlessly! Just call Checkmate, ask for Katherine, She was very nice and MAILED em to me . Had them in a couple days.
Toll Free 1-800-229-6467 Here's a link to the followers:

I plan to order 2 more so all my mags have that follower!
Hey, it was only about $19.00 for 2 followers, shipped via USPS 1st class mail!

Shouldn't it have been free since warranty?
