    I shot this combo of gun & ammo and it was ejecting to 5:00 at 30 ft. Am I light on my spring weight? 14 lbs RS & whatever WC puts in 9mm for MS. 30 ft seems excessive.
  2. General Firearm Discussion
    Before Christmas I posted a question here on the forum regarding what to do with a 2007 Nighthawk Talon showing an unusual wear pattern on the back of guide rod and the front of the barrel lugs. Contact between those two points had actually peened the inside edge of the barrel link slot to the...

    Stopped up with a buddy of mine to visit Steve of integrity arms. I've known him for years and we've always traded with each other. Had been a few years and he's still a bad influence lol. Talked me into an Ed brown and leaving my TRP with him to have some work done. As always, it was...

    I currently have a few builds done by various gunsmiths. Some current, some have passed on. I have a couple more on books and am thinking of finding a smith that may be willing to take on my idea. Many smiths are not keen on the idea of straying from the traditional. I'm am presenting my vision...

    I bought this Wilson Combat Compact New from a great forum member and asked Steve O @Integrity Arms to make it mine. And boy did he ever deliver. What a great experience. How often do you do a project and find that you have made a good friend. During the process it became apparent that Steve...

He told me he didn't think it had ever been fired and after taking it down I tend to agree with him. Who can shed some light on the barrel setup? I have...

    Ok........... so I may have made a mistake by selling all my LBs. (there......... I said it) I'm in the market for a lightly used or a not abused T.R.S. I'm not really set on getting a "like new in the box" one. I will consider .45 or 9 mm. I prefer to get one without FCS but that won't be a...

    When I first mentioned that I wanted to try my hand at building a 1911. @ZoidMeister showed me ZOIDS 1911. He was very helpful in getting started. I thought it would be appropriate to build one in that spirit. So..... Here is build #9 I got a unique-ish slide assembly from Steve O. Horse traded...

    The results of the Range Outing today were pretty good. (See Pre Range Run post below v v v v v ) Of the 8 mags. tested on all 7 Commanders. It disclosed that one of the mags. was not very friendly with the guns. It really took me by somewhat of a surprise. It turned out that one of my new Tripp...
