My FIL purchased a never shot( looks factory new to me) 1975 colt trophy sumtin model 70 1911. As I was at MrsZ mothers 60th( she loves me, thinks I da bestes) party past weekend, I asked to see it. note: no ammo present, around , nearby etc. etc.etc FIL handed me gun, closed. I safety ck as I was learn ed. Could not get the gun to go into battery. Hand back open, as I was learn ed. He ( FIL, jury is still out on his approval) cannot get said to go into battery. Hands back to me. I pull mag, insert mag, slide release and battery. Thumb hammer,trigger, decock. Im in no way a 1911 even novice. Im sure in the past I've shot one. We"we" must have been doing sumtin wrong. It jus seems odd. My friends please enlighten me, owning him ( FIL)comes few and far. note 2: it was a party, sooo, but thank you in advance
