 While a common complaint with the commercial models with spur hammers similar to that of the Colt "Government Model" automatic, it is seldom a problem with the military models, which have a smaller, rounded "burr" hammer, more like that of the Colt "Commander" compact version of the 1911.Another flaw is that the original small safety is very hard to release and re-engage.This is because when cocked, the shaft the safety turns on is under hammer spring pressure.
