The only thing I can think happened was the hammer caught on the seat as I was getting in the truck and pulled part way back and let go before it caught the lock and wham bam thank ya mam. I carry 1 in the pipe with the hammer shut and the primer was very clearly struck so its the only thing that I can assume happened. 1911 if anyone has any other ideas?

Firing pin spring in place?
Half cock notch functional? Grip safety functional? Normally 1911 is cocked and locked, why was it not being carried this way? |

Do you have a trigger stop screw that limits overtravel ? Is it set too deep?
Seen a lot of people crank down and it keeps the half cock notch from engaging. So it could have been pull past the safety notch but not to full cock and had enough steam to set off a primer. I wont get into cocked and locked or empty chamber is the only safe wat to carry a 1911 |

A 1911 is meant to be carried cocked and locked. I've been carrying a 1911 for about 30 years. That's the way JMB, hallowed be his name, meant for it to be.
My brother carried a 1911 with a round chambered and hammer down until he had a ND. Now he's a believer of Condition 1. |

Why in the world would you carry a 1911 hammer down on a hot pipe? It has a manual safety, and a grip safety. It was designed that way for a reason. Go ahead and carry a SA revolver (on an empty chamber) if you want to carry hammer down.
