For completely disassembling the modern (pre-lock, post-MIM) guns the tools needed can be simplified to a 150-3 bit, the rebound slide tool (really nice to have), the extractor rod tool, a 1/8" hex...

Are you going to be using a 9mm AR in any sort of defensive role?

If not, I actually had good luck with these. Or rather the Glock version of that. Not extensive. Only a few hundred rounds...

I believe that's a common description of the "sintered metal" parts Colt used in the Mk3 and MkV actions. I've never cut one of them myself and can't say.

AFAIK S&W's MIM parts are...

So, after 117 pages, what was the ultimate summary for the macros?

The factory "ported" models with the shorter 3.1" barrels are more troublesome than the regular 3.7" "long" slide?

The...

Not at all. I think the most common breakage is a hammer nose which isn't difficult to fix, and Midway or Brownells still has Power Custom replacements that are still in current production. Fitting...

Also specific to S&W but worth pointing out is anything made from around the mid 1990s forward has maintenance simplified by having fewer fitted parts. I think it was `88 or so when they stopped...

Only 20 over the limit? Jeez. You'd get passed on the sidewalk for only doing 20 over around here...

That Jerry Miculek trigger job DVD is worth the $20 then. I'd say that in general, but especially if you're starting from a clean sheet of paper.

There should be several threads here where lots...

That's a load-bearing parenthetical. :)

There are good and bad videos on youtube by people who do and don't know what they're doing. For a new guy, making the distinction isn't obvious or easy.

The HKS loaders can vary depending on capacity, so it isn't just a matter of comparing HKS to Safariland. For example, the 6-shot L-frame HKS loaders had a lot of bullet "wiggle" when loaded. ...

Weren't their Hi Powers genuinely worn out? This doesn't seem surprising.

By that metric most of my LTC class had 'diminished cognitive capacity'.

The mind reels at the number of morons who had an absolutely looney tunes grasp of what a justifiable use of force looks...

Glad to see this project succeed. Since a K-frame was teased early on, I assume the same no-lock, XS sights, VZ grips, Ti-studs treatment will inevitably include a modern model 12 / 315 in aluminum...

Is that a ramped, 9-round Metalform magazine?

The LCP max is on the list of "guns I should have rented instead of bought" because it didn't even get a full 50-round box. It felt like sticking my finger in a pencil sharpener. Hard pass.

The...

The only organic gel testing I'm aware of to date is this.

9.3", .46 in bare gel
11.3", .41 in heavy clothing
no data for 4LD

edit: I think the 100gr wadcutter is the right track to take. ...

The house in Austin for the upcoming eclipse is in the path of totality. On a map, it looks really close to the other track from a few months...

It looks like the S&W 2000 Schofield has two little feet on the "barrel latch block"(?) that the Ubertis don't have.

Can you tell if the metal deformed in any way or is it just cosmetic / finish...

Man, imagine being an ammunition manufacturer right now. You had a somewhat-less-than-successful go with introducing the .327 round, then you had what appears to be an outright dud with the .30...

Well. If nothing else it tells you that the firing pin safety spring contributes about 2# to the trigger. Not surprising I guess, people have been polishing and rounding off those parts in Glock or...

These both read like a prohibition on manufacturing not possession. Which functionally makes the "ban" seem to be unenforceable unless someone sits there and watches you whittle a frame out of a...

So this is probably a question for CAS type shooters but as I casually look at used Schofields I'm noticing some finish wear on the rear of the cylinder with some.
...

See, this and this is what happened when we stopped putting people in the stocks and pillories at midday.

NEVER get the frickin' undercoating!

This is new info to me. Clearly I missed this. Is that a function of the Acro clamp mount setup?
