From many years of dealing with 1911's, I would suspect that someone not sufficiently qualified has been inside your pistol.  Consider sending it back to Springfield Armory, if you bought it originally.  Even if you didn't, it may end up back at SA because several of the parts are specific to a SA EMP only.</blockquote>
