This is my first 45 1911. It is a Para LTC. Just got it yesterday. Took it home and cleaned it. When I reassembled it the hammer is stuck in the cocked back position. What did I do to cause this and how can I fix it? When you try to pull trigger it feels like the safety's are on, but thumb safety is not on and grip saftey is being depress but trigger does not travel and hammer does not fall.
Disassemble the gun and re-install the sear spring like this:
The sear spring is installed incorrectly. Take out the mainspring housing, put the sear spring in as shown in niemi24s' photo, then reassemble.
