40VE part problem....

[1408]

I was interested in reading this post, I thought some of it was just wrong, But was willing to set that aside for newbie terminology problems. All that aside up into this last part. I know from experience this is impossible to accomplish. there cannot be a round in the chamber (snap cap) and be able to remove the slide. See, the end of the round (snap cap) is between the extractor and the FP area which makes it impossible to remove the slide.
Great mystery part though. Next time don’t go so far.

I remove my slide all the time with the snap cap in place to protect the striker.

The terminology I use is standard in the gun manuals. I am not new, I have been working on firearms a long time always without a problem except for this new Sigma that I got. All of the takedowns I do are photographed, and documented and catalogued.

This is about learning and most of the time I keep my education to myself, however I was trying to be helpful so thanks to you I will take a back seat and watch as usual.

I took the 49VE to the range today and it had not one problem, the trigger was like glass, the pull was reasonable, every round fired ejected without any issues, the range master thought it was a total custom job until I told him it is all S&W and it was only missing the piggie spring and the felt wad.

So, I must be damn good in the gunsmithing department to acheave a smoth as glass trigger from a 40VE, using only factory S&W parts, and little modifications, which is touted as a lousy trigger from everyone.
