-
Hello, I purchased a new 1911 cbob, 3 weeks ago. The problem is once hammer is cocked , and I manually pool the slide , the slide touches the hammer. You can feel the resistance while pooling the slide. Another thing I noticed are marks on the beavertail-safety , left and right on beavertail , are marks I first thought these are oil tracks. but then I realized this are scratches from rubbing against the grip. Does anybody had same experience. Thank you .

This is normal. The slide pushes the hammer down as it comes back. It then engages the sear. If it did not rub on the slide after engaging the sear it would not stay cocked and the hammer would follow the slide remaining un-cocked and the pistol would not fire. The grip safety slides in and out of the frame and will rub the finish off or in the case of stainless steel, will leave a wear pattern and is normal.
