Handgrip Idiot Lifesaver

Even though I SHOULD know better, I launched the takedown retainer spring AGAIN. Thank goodness for the Midwest "oops" spring kit.
Smith & Wesson M&P AR Oops Kit: MGW
I did find the spring about two days later, but still this kit has been a lifesaver for me.

I keep several draws with various type of springs and detents for AR rifles I don't how many have been launched in my shop to never be found again.

I used a Bic pen spring, to replace my lost one.

Bubba says it is fine.

Been there, done that and usually followed by a more colorful version of "Gosh Darn it"

Brownells is your friend!

I was trying to fit a Caspian 1911 rear ghost ring sight element to my Kimber rear sight but it didn't work. When putting the Caspian sight back together I dropped the element and lost the adjustment spring on my garage floor

Still can't find it after two days.

Turn the lights off and use a flashlight. It focuses your sight. Also, get down on the floor and shine the light across it. Might help, might not.

Never take a NAA mini revolver apart for cleaning, no matter how much pocket lint is in it.
Send it to NAA and get them to do it.
That hand spring is a (insert really bad word here) to try to reinstall.
