My EDC P35. Stocked full of Gold Dots.

Knife is a CRK Pacific.

An observation - that sharpened top of the blade, that isn't your friend using the knife as a bush knife. It really isn't. Especially when making feather sticks.

Sounds like you want a dedicated bushcrafter knife. Have you checked out the line of Bark River knives? I bet you'd like them.

I'm currently working through a build from Ruth Knives. http://ruthknives.com/home.php

I prefer Bowie style knives.

Nothing wrong with that. Are you familiar with the full convex grind? It's the only edge ill have on my knives & I request it on all my customs. Edge retention & minimal resistance during the cutting stroke are unparalleled. I like Bark Rivers cause all of their knives have this grind. Is that P35 stock by the way? I don't think you've ever posted a "regular" gun on here.

Nope! No longer stock. :cool:

Any updates to the P35 test process?

I put a lot of rounds through two Mk III BHPs in the '90's and they were as realiable as the best Glocks I've used since. Triggers were perfectly decent stock IMO. Just the longer reset gave me problems when I went back to shooting 1911s and Glocks a lot.

I can't bear to look long at those amazing pics. ;)

Nyeti's version of a modern P35:

No knives or axes though.

I thought the modern P35 was a Glock 17 Gen 4? :cool:

Between that and that hammer spur, how do you keep from bleeding all over everything? :p

Well, you've moved onto double stack 9mm. Just need to get polymer mixed in and you'll be right there with us...

I have a wonderfully dangerous looking scar on my right forearm that bled enough I was feeling woozy.

I tell girls it's from a knife fight.

I've had plenty of nice 1911s, and a custom revolver, over the years. I'm glad they're all gone and were replaced with a Glocks.

Of course, JV, it was a joke -- actually a riposte to what I assume was a joke. I therefore didn't think it needed an emoticon.

Why's that?

Nice 1911s are, well, nice. Custom revolvers are, well, nice. Though, I would guess everyone here knows where I come out in this discussion ;)


And this P35 is no longer a stock gun. I need a few more rounds through it, and the internals are still in flux. Including the sear-hammer geometry of the C&S parts. New flat bottom FPS is expected soon, as is a new set of Warner sights.

I still have the "condition" as I've added a few wheelies lately, most notable a really nice S&W Model 27-2. But while it's often repeated how the Glock comes with no pride of ownership; mine have pride of performance as I've done nice shooting with them I have not with any other gun.

Bill,

Check out Chuck Warner's true radius sear and hammer for the hi-power. Its said to be one of the best triggets for hi-power triggers. Chuck is located in New Mexico and his website is warnerpistols.com. I've got one of his true radius sears in my 1911 and its supreme. There's a ton of info on 1911pro.com about the true radius sears for 1911 and hi-powers if your into the minutiae of trigger jobs. Be warned its a long dark road if you start down it.

Been talking to Chuck for awhile now ;)

Been down this road once or twice already.

Same with the vintage Winchester road.

And the Parker road.

And the LC Smith road.

And the Biesen rifle road.

And the M54/70 road.

And the '03 road.

Let's just say my post 21 year old days were spent not growing up.

Well, I haven't gone down this road yet! What makes his hammer/sear setup better than a C&S kit, for example?

Warners set meets mostly parallel at the hammer sear interface.

Many do not. P35s actually (frequently) need to "cock" the hammer a little to fire. This is because the angle on the hammer is such that it must move rearwards a little prior to firing. The opposite problem causes hammer follow.

Yea Bill nailed it. For a excellent read on 1911 trigger jobs check out this thread:

http://www.1911pro.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=277

If I'm not mistaken Chuck puts forth the idea for the true radius sear in there some where. This thread is mostly about the 1911 but has some hi-power info in it.

Like I said, a long dark hole.

Ugh, the obsession with positive sear engagement at some manufacturers to make sure they can pass ridiculous "drop it out of a helicopter" tests. Have you watched the hammer on a stock CZ-75 in SA mode? It visibly moves a reasonable fraction of an inch to the rear before the sear finally manages to crawl out from under engagement...
