    S&W 457s

    I have made a lot of my stainless pistols and revolvers look practically new again by using scotchbrite on any shiny spots. Take a small piece and rub softly in a circular motion over the spot. It will take the shine off and blend it back to an amazing condition. I had an "ugly duckling"...

    3rd Gen parts - I'm afraid we're on our own Gents

    Wolf recoil springs work well. I have found it best to stay close to standard strength.

    3rd Gen parts - I'm afraid we're on our own Gents

    I have a couple dozen semi's, mostly 3rd gen and a couple of 2nd gen. I started stockpiling parts a few years ago and have bought whole sets of internal parts and others off ebay. There are often sets posted. Everything I have gotten always seem to be in good shape. I made up a bin box with...

    Sigma Let me down

    My SW9VE has over 5000 rounds of every type of ammo, reloads to factory and no FTEs and 2 or 3 FTFs that were absolutely dead primers that would not fire in any of my other guns. I use Mobil 1 with a needle oiler sparingly on the lubrication points, nothing on the striker but carburator cleaner...
