Hello INGO.
My Colt Lieutenant Commander is having issues dropping mags free.
It is not specific to the brand of magazine and does it with all of them...this is also a "new" problem....and I have not changed anything about the gun.
I was at the range shooting some reloads, and I had a fail to feed using an old GI magazine, so I tried to drop the magazine to clear the jam and it wouldnt drop free...had to cycle the slide then pull the mag out.
UPON DISASSEMBLY:
I detail stripped the gun and the symptoms are as follows.
BARE FRAME ONLY: Mags insert and drop free with NO resistance whatsoever.
TRIGGER BOW: When dropping the bare trigger bow over a variety of magazines, it is smooth and does not catch giving no resistance.
MAGAZINE RELEASE: With the magazine release in the bare frame...magazines insert snug, but drop free and clean when depressed.
The problem arises when the trigger is installed in the frame...the trigger bow is rubbing on the magazine tube.
It does this with ALL of my mags...I tried tweaking it gently but to no avail.
What causes this and how do I fix it?
Please and thank you
God bless
