Looks like they need to put hammers on all the Glocks.

Given the same mainspring tension, a bobbed hammer will hit harder than a same kind of spur hammer, due to the increased speed.

I liked the Budweiser sleigh ride one...

I had the problem of the button on top of the hats, so I used a pair of side cutters (wire cutter), slid them under the buttons and pried them off. Takes about a minute.

This whole thing is more complicated than it seems on the surface. Pizza Bob shows us the math. It turns out that is correct, but with limitations. If you keep the same spring pressure, the lighter hammer will travel faster and hit harder. But the purpose of the action job is to make the...

This is me and Daisy Mae singing songs. Daisy Mae all grown up. Daisy was the most loving and smartest dog I ever knew. All the smart dogs are named Daisy.

Take it off, put magic marker around the bottom part where it contacts the frame, on the edge of the sideplate. Put the sideplate back on the gun and tap it down with a rubber mallet or something non marring. Take it back off and see where the marker was rubbed off by contact with the frame. Use...

Prayers and Best Wishes for you, Rusty, family, and doctors. I have faith that we will see you on the mend soon.

We had an ICORE match yesterday at Mill Creek Rifle Club near Kansas City. I somehow lucked into a 2nd place finish in Open class. There were 37 guns, 28 shooters, 9 of them shot 2 guns. We are having the IRC (ICORE Nationals) here from Oct. 24 thru Oct. 26. There will be a $40,000 prize table...

When they make the barrels, there is a round part that contacts the front of the frame, then a .002 or .003 step for clearance, outside of the circle. They are all made like that intentionally. If you look at a barrel that's not on a gun, you can clearly see it. All one piece barrels are like that.

It's hard to give an estimate without even a picture to go by. Not enough information.

The barrel gets re threaded from 32 to 36 threads per inch. I have only done older barrels with the 2 pin front sight. Some sources say that the newer 1 pin front sight barrels have the same threads as S&W. I don't have 1st hand knowledge if that is correct.

Could there be a spring on the sideplate (maybe missing?) to hold the hand forward? We can't see what the inside of the sideplate looks like.

The only thing I can think of that would be different between recessed and non recessed is the cylinder lug at the bottom of the frame window. That can be changed out fairly easily if you can find the part. It wouldn't be all that hard to make one from scratch.

When shooting with moon clips, you get all your brass back.

You always want to have at least 2 calibers bigger than the one facing you...

Brownell's has the cutters and gauge for that. The cutter set is kind of expensive for a one time use. You may want to find a gunsmith or someone local who already has the cutter that can do it for you. You want .002 max or less endshake. Minimum is where the cylinder can still rotate freely.

I've always thought they could at least allow the revo guys with a red dot sight to compete in carry optics (CO) along with the autos with a dot. Instead, the revo dot shooters are forced to be in Open class with the 28 round race guns.

I've built a few over the years. The Colt barrel has a 1 in 14 twist, and it does help with accuracy and group size, especially with light (slow) target loads. The ones I made were either 4" or 6" barrels. I call it a Smython, others call it a Smolt.

That slogan came from the hippies in the late 1960s...
