    Leverage is the same as torque here. Calling it one or the other makes no difference whatsoever. The hammer cocks only the first little bit of slide travel and has relatively little effect on the...

    The standard (i.e. small) radius firing pin stop is a reliability feature. The leverage disadvantage absorbs more of the impulse of the slide at the beginning of the slide's travel, sparing the...

    Properly countersink your frame before staking and don't use plunger tubes made from annealed pot metal?

    Guns = good.
    Killing people at the behest of Wall St. = bad.

    Not sure why there's so much opinion that you can only believe both or neither.

    Seems like the next logical step in the evolution of 1911 idiocy after the action spring "tuning" to the point where the slide will just barely lock back on empty. Run the extractor tension as high...

    All flags of all states and all groups are racist (bigoted, really) by design. They are symbols that devide "us" from "them." See the Robber's Cave experiment for some entertaining consequences.

    They did you a favor. The book is hilariously bad and contrary to established best practices.

    Because of the proliferation of gunsmith-fit parts for 1911s and the nature of tolerance stack up, there's not really any such thing as a 1911 that "doesn't need babying." Eventually...

    Two separate conditions exist. Responsibility and fault. You are "responsible" if reasonable changes to your actions would have led to a change in outcome. You are "at fault" if you commit a crime....

    There are none explicitly regarding trigger travel as far as I've been able to find over the last month or so of looking off and on.

    At all?

    While they're not the same, compared to NCIS or Modern Family they're similar. Which is why I said "a bit like" and not "the same as."
