Thanks,
The mark under my NY-1 stamp - if I remember correctly was that this showed that the range inspected this during the recall.

And Florida 1098 is right on the mark - once a year, usually in the summer the bosses wold have us bring in all of our firearms and make sure everything was on the up and up on our 10 cards. I would delay and delay out of pure laziness - until I was threatened with DOA or EDP watching at CIH, KCH, or IZ - all of a sudden my guns were at the desk!

Ok, ok, but inquiring minds want to know where you got the leather underwear.

The question asked most by civilians is how to get out of a speeding summons.

The question most asked by MOS is how come we're not available - this is hush hush - the moment you guys take the 53 on the Belt - we jump into the precinct for some food on the arm - )

Seriously, I know in 5 sometimes we only ran two units for the whole borough, on midnights there were times we had just one, and they would have IDTU and AI duties, so the 122 would have to give us a hand on the SIE, WSE, Veterans, MLK roadways. Can't speak for 1,2,3 (District), and 4.

Day tours we were in court, midnights during the 80's and again today there just were not enough cars on patrol. I remember some nights (late tours) where my partner and I would turn out of HWY 1 and have to cover HWY 3. If we got an AI job or IDTU job we'd be O/S the remainder. Thus...the HWY not available K....

Yepper - we had to cover Hwy 2, and they covered us as well with adjoining roadways of the Belt, VZ, and SIE.

That's not my understanding at all, based on a post here a few years ago by Bob Vivas. I don't think that there was EVER a problem popping primers with the M60 NY-1. Where there was a problem was with the engineers WORRYING about popping primers. Prompted by SAAMI specs, they went for a stronger mainspring. This made the size of the hammer stud (hammer pin) hole in the sideplate more critical. Even with all sideplates inspected after a recall, there were still sometimes severe functional problems from the increased mainspring weight. Eventually the repeated problems caused the NYPD Firearms Unit to nix the purchase. It is my understanding that the Firearms Unit experimented with a large number of 36's and experienced what I have experienced with a much smaller number of guns, both J & K: bobbing the hammer and changing nothing else does not reduce reliability of the gun.

Don't know if Bob Vivas still posts here. I believe that you could get the above synopsis confirmed by RichCapeCod, who was there at the time.

this is entirely correct. There were no incidents of light hits reported when the M60 project was being evaluated. The method of evaluation was to take Evidence collected M36's out of the Property Clerks office, grind off the hammer spurs and see how well the recruits shot them.

There were no problems with light hits resulting from the decreased mass. HOWEVER, when the gun was being specced out, the designers at some level (I believe at S&W) determined that for the firing pin to generate enough force to be within SAAMI specs for primer ignition, there needed to be either more mass or greater power in the spring.

They increased the spring tension and it went downhill from there.

Bob,

Welcome back! Did you relocate the gun shop, or give it up? Where are you now, and what's up?
