Taurus PT 1911

After all the trouble waiting for purchase permits my PT 1911 finally had its day at the range, much to my disappointment.
1.The second round fed but as the slide closed, the hammer fell to half cock.
2. After finishing a clip of 5 shots, I reloaded with another 5 shot clip, closed the slide and the hammer fell to half cock again.
3. While firing another clip, I tried to squeeze one off and the trigger reacted as if the safety was on. The hammer would not fall,
4. And most troubling is while firing a 5 round clip, three shots were expended, the gun double taped the fourth shot and emptied the clip. I shudder to thing if I had a full clip would it have run the whole clip? Needless to say the gun is on its way back to the factory. Must be a sear lock up problem.. Has anyone out there experienced this sort of trouble or heard of it?

Just got it back this last Monday. Pretty fast service! The note that came with it indicated the sear was not adjusted correctly and that it was fired a number of times during the repair and was now correct. I guess that means it should work. Will try to fire it in the next few days and let you know if it has been corrected. (The sear would not have been my guess and I don't recall it being any one elses.)

I am having trouble finding one that fits the weapon.
