I’m no gunsmith but looking at the SAMMI drawings for 9mm, 10mm and 45 ACP, the 9mm has almost 4 times the taper (0.011”) of a 45 (0.003”). The 10mm taper (0.004”) is significantly less (0.007” less)...

I own a DW Specialist in 10mm. It wasn’t fully broken in until 275 rounds. It would occasionally require a slight tap on rear of slide to chamber completely. My only observation was the ejection...
I have a 10mm DW Specialist and I love it. Shoots great, functions fine. While cleaning I noticed wear marks on the frame in the area near the link pin. Based on the angle and location it appears to...
Thanks
If I want to push my rear sight out (removal), do you move it from right to left , looking from rear? Thanks
I have seen other 92x full size pistols without the RDO mount and they did not have stainless marked barrels. I wonder if this is something with the RDO models only? The Beretta website says it has a...
I held in my hand today a new Beretta 92S full size (with factory RDO mount). The pistol had the black (Bruniton) finish but the barrel had the word “stainless” stamped on top. Is this a supply chain...
I watched and interview with the designer of the sight. He mentioned that point about wanting the front sight to be more pronounced in your vision than the rear. Not saying you could not get a...
TOTs, that’s a good description of the bullet being initially below line of sight, rising up to line of sight, then dropping off again. Mapping your gun and ammo with sights is a good way to describe...
I have a Dan Wesson Specialist. It has straight 8 style sights. DW days the dovetail cuts are Novak front and Novak Lo Mount rear. So while they are like Heinie sights, the Heinie website says their...
Well that clears it up for me. I was thinking the ejector should not contact the primer if the slide is moving rearward but reading people’s experience it sounded like it had happened. I assumed the...
I have been hesitant to disassemble the bottom end of my 10mm Specialist. I was afraid I couldn’t get the ambi safety apart and back together. And hesitant about the sear, disconnector and hammer...
Same here. I eject live rounds from time to time. But for training I use snap caps.
Doesn’t yanking it at higher speed make it more likely for the ejector to ignite the primer? Or if you don’t have an extended ejector it really is unlikely? I don’t know the difference between what...
Well that’s another person that has seen the ejector setting off a primer. I’m glad I started this thread. Might have saved me a damaged hand. I won’t be cupping my hand over the ejection port...
Thanks for the detailed explanation. Very informative.
I have a DW Specialist is 10mm. My best friend has a 45 ACP 1911, Remington R1. He shot my 10mm and now he is thinking about getting one. He doesn’t want to spend $1900, understandable. I like the...
I have done the “live round cycle thru ejection port” sequence and done it slowly as I previously described, cupping hand over port. I am wanting to completely understand how the ejector hits the...
I liked what John O described above.
To eject a live round what I have done is hold pistol with right hand (I am right handed) , grab the rear cocking serrations with thumb and index finger of...
Thanks. I will watch them right now
Wow! I have put my hand over the ejection port to catch an unfired round. I will not do that anymore. Thanks
I have been reading some old posts here about these things. I have a DW Specialist in 10mm and it ejects a live round fine (although I don’t do that unless needing to empty pistol). It ejects snap...
Thanks for the experience. 75,000 rounds on one pistol is incredible.
I own a Beretta 92A1, and Dan Wesson Specialist 1911. Before the 1911, I owned a SIG P226 MK25. The common element here is metal frame and exposed hammer. Of course the 1911 is Single Action only....
I own a DW Specialist is 10mm. I have never dropped the slide on an empty chamber. I watched a Bill Wilson Utube and he said it is not good for the barrel fitment, lower lug, upper lugs , etc. That...
