On my last deployment in Afghanistan, I broke my left wrist. Although the docs wanted to send me home, I managed to bully my way into staying, despite having a job that actually took me outside the...
Wasn't there some concern with carrying a Colt 1903 in condition 1? Or is the recommendation to carry it Israeli style?
I bought one about 6 months ago. Overall I like it. The steel is decent and holds an edge alright. Easy to sharpen. I've grown to like the button, blade lock release.The only thing I don't like is...
I did it to turn a 13 round P2000 9mm mag into a 15 round mag. Its a tight fit on a closed slide at first, but once broken in, it has been functioning fine. Of course, your missing the two extra...
Never said 225 mags were compatible with P225A1 mags. Was just pointing out to those interested in P239s that there is an alternative mag available with minimal effort.
Whatever though, rock on...
Not according to my experience and Lucky Gunner(https://www.luckygunner.com/lounge/a-tribute-to-the-sig-p239/) see the second to last paragraph. Swapping out the baseplate fixes the issue of...
Many of you probably already know this, but for those who don't, the P225A1 mags are the same as P239 mags with a different baseplate. I had some spare mags from a 225A1 I sold, ordered some 239...
It didn't come from AZ as far as I know.
No trace of paint and the only bluing left on it is under the grips, a small stripe on the barrel near the extractor rod, and where oil leaking out from...
At the risk of exposing my inner nerd, I actually know what you mean...and yeah it does fit.
Thanks! Its definitely has a mystic, like the homely girl that just has something about her that's kinda hot in her own way...
yeah, that was the plan originally, but I am really liking the way it looks as is. There is just something about the patina...hoping I can add to the scars and keep the old girl working.
Your not the only one...I ran across this one on GB. I have no idea why but it called to me. Its an early 150- prefix Security Six in .357.
I took a chance and probably put too much money down...
Thank you for the compliment. It's really not hard...but honestly, its one thing to chop up my pistol, I'm not sure I would be brave enough to do someone elses.
Thanks, now all we need is a single stack...I did the chop a year ago, but I didn't want to show it off until it was vetted and I proved the concept...plus I was afraid of the mobs with torches and...
To make it really worth while, I took the standard P2000 9mm magazine and took the guts out of one of the new 17 round P30/VP9 magazines, and swapped them. I then used the 17 round magazine...
I feel your pain, not a VP9 but basically the same thought...I got so frustrated that one night I finally decided to do this...
Take one standard P30 and a P2000 9mm magazine...carefully measure...
Thank you for the insights.
Thats kind of what I was afraid of...I was hoping there were some anecdotal trends or generalities.
Oh well.
If this has been discussed, please forgive my weak search "fu".
I am wondering if there is any data that indicates a particular platform or caliber of handgun is more conducive (or at least less...
Not really sporterized, aside from upgraded scope and rings, but here is a 03A3 Springfield for you. Its one of the Gibbs cobbled together parts guns. In this case, I got lucky and it got wrenched...
Turns out there was a burr in the frame that was preventing the trigger plunger from moving all the way out. Removed the burr out and made sure the plunger moved smoothly and all is good. Thanks to...
I'll check that tonight, thank you!
I tried putting the original springs back in. No joy.
I'll check out the video and see if I can sort it out.
Thanks all. Any other suggestions are appreciated as well.
So I swapped out the hammer and trigger return springs on my new SP101 and now I have a weird issue.
The revolver seems to function fine in DA but when I cock the hammer to single action, the...
