Yes, the trigger has worn "grooves" in the pin, and the hole in the trigger is not round anymore, it's visibly oval. I will try the S&W Forum as well, and contact S&W customer support to explore if there is a possibility to get a new trigger pivot pin. The finish of the gun is not an issue, club owned guns are not that sensitive in that aspect......

Is there a home fix for a worn trigger pivot pin? I can feel two "groves" on the pin from the wear from the trigger, I can probably get a replacement trigger, but what to do with the pin? Since I reside at the "wrong side" of the Atlantic ocean, shipping the gun to S&W is probably a "no go"...... It's a S&W 629 in .44 Magnum, stainless, "no dash" gun at my club that I try to fix.

I HAD to tweak that sign a bit

Amen!

3. And, upon hearing Joe Jacobi of the 'Skin's say: "I'd run over my own mother to win the Super Bowl," Matt Millen of the Raiders said: "To win, I'd run over Joe's Mom, too."

That is hilarious!

Hej Henning, you have a VERY committed brother! that's "sick" in the most positive way I know....

Why not use a bullet as check weight? With that all ususal variables are neglectable, it should not vary in weight from day to day.... That gives you an idea of how much the scale varies, or not.

Pat, did you offer to help the poor storeowner out and take all of them off their hands? For a somewhat lower pricer of course...

I use shims (from Brownells) between the frame and both trigger and hammer, the rubbing against the frame is reduced that way. I have not deared to angle up the hammer stud, but that is the way it is done by real gunsmith's. How they adress the trigger rubbing against the frame I don't know.

Short answer: No. Outside the course of fire, a dropped gun is not an DQ, unless the shooter picks it up by himself. Stopping a gun from falling out of the holster can not be "unsafe gunhandling", and the shooter did not draw (or almost draw) the gun from the holster since he/she did not hold the gun in his/her hand. EDIT: I play with a different rule set.... IPSC rules defines "Draw" a bit differently: Draw (Drawing): The act of removing a handgun from it’s holster. A draw is deemed to have ended when the handgun has cleared the holster.

Ok, thanks for the info. Anyone here with a broken Bo-Mar who could send me a sight blade perhaps...? Just in case you know...

HI. I'm helping a friend to mill the rear sight blade notch wider and narrowing the front sight on a Colt 1911. Is it possible to remove the rear sight blade and re-fit it again without a new screw and nut, and is there replacement parts if we decide to go back to original width again?

Short update. In my gun, 35 ounce hammer tension (force) is about the lowest I can go with reliable ignition of Federal SP (seated in my Dillon 550). I could probably go a bit lower if would I re-seat the primers with he hand tool I have, but that's to much work.. I will keep the 6 lb DA-pull, I really don't like to have a weaker rebound spring, I like to have my trigger finger pushed out by the rebound spring to keep me from short stroking... If I can get my hands on a replacment hammer I will try to bob the h-ll out of it (Carmonize it )and check if I can go lower on the hammer tension...
