  A:

  Same concept as a revolver. Single action the trigger only performs one action, it drops the hammer. Double action it performs two actions, the trigger pulls the hammer back and drops the hammer. Single action is a nice short, light, crisp trigger pull while double action is long and heavy. Alot of people like to carry one in the chamber, hammer down so the first shot is double action. The slide pushes the hammer back so follow up shots are single action. Just depends how you prefer to carry. Don't believe there are any double/single action 1911s available. Plenty of semi automatics offer both though. Hope this helps

  A:

  NO, not legal in CA. Unfortunately, none of Rock Island Armory 9mm 1911 is listed in CA handgun roster ( https://oag.ca.gov/firearms/certified-handguns/search ). Handgun needs to be on the roster to be legal, I hope this helps!

• Q: Bought this 1911 and i cant get through a clip without it failing to exrtract a previously fired shell. Im not just dumping mags either im shooting slow and it seems to vary from the beginning of a clip to the last rounds. Was just wondering if anyone else has had these issues and maybe how it could be fixed.

  A:

  It is a solid extractor (not spring loaded) and it can be bent or broken by dropping a round in the chamber and letting the slide close on it. It is meant to feed from the magazine only. If there is no damage to the extractor then check to see if it is properly adjusted. Take the slide off and push a cartridge up under the extractor and shake the slide a bit. If it falls out it needs to be adjusted which entails removing the extractor and bending it. Here's a video on it.
