Last year, had to replace the boiler. This year, the new boiler has already failed, and the original installer is no longer returning my calls. I'm pretty sure he has no idea what to do. At this point, should I just bite the bullet and call someone else to get my new boiler fixed? Many thousands of dollars that could be going to ammo.... :-(

...and thanks for your help!

Finally got it out. Don't know if this was the cause or result of my efforts, but the slide lock spring was bent up like a coat hanger. In the end, it just took patience and jiggling the slide lock.

I know that this can be tricky sometimes, but I've successfully detailed stripped both my G19 and G21 plenty of times. Just got a used G34 and cannot push the trigger pin through no matter how much I play with the slide stop and trigger. Right now I have it soaking up CLP in the hopes that it's just crud (of which there is APLENTY in this gun) holding it back. Any tips? This is a G34 3rd gen. frame with two pins. Gracias!

I just did exactly that! $70 in springs, firing pin doo-dads, extractor widgets, etc. I just bought a used G34, so I'm planning to replace any parts that may be past warranty. Very good prices, very fast shipping. Charles

Guess the Lanny Bassham .sig should have been a giveaway!

What are your other three? I'm still getting plenty out of Practical Shooting and Refinement and Repetition, but I'd like to know what to queue up next.

You guys are making me thirsty.... Jameson, Bushmill, Powers, are all on the menu for me when I'm in a bar. At home I stock Black Bush and the 12yr old Jameson. mmmmmmm... OK going for a glass now!

I also use a locking comp-tac paddle holster for IDPA, and I was surprised recently to see this statement on their site: Most popular with the ISPC crowd (Not IDPA legal without in-house modification). (here) Anyone know anything about this?

www.cdnninvestments.com have great prices on some parts.

I was doing the "6 reload 6" drill in Practice and Repetition (three targets: two on each, reload, two on each) yesterday, looking for some way to improve my time (since it's kind of not great). I noticed that I was experiencing a lag at each target after the gun caught up with my eyes. Essentially, what I was doing was: 1) move eyes to target 2) move sights to target 3) refocus on sights 4) fire So there was always some lag refocusing from the target to the sights. I found it a little faster to refocus in anticipation of the sights arriving, so I was ready to fire as soon as they were aligned. 1) move eyes to target 2) refocus while moving sights to target 3) fire. More generally, the time between having eyes on the target and getting the sights on target is a little weird for me. If I don't do *something* with my eyes, they get distracted and wander, usually towards the sight (so they have to track BACK to the target again with the sight). Refocusing during this time is not only more efficient, it keeps them in the game. Carlito

great article, nice that it mentions shooting even if it doesn't go into more shooting-specific detail.

My condolences... and good luck!

All I really need is someone to haul the garbage to the curb until I can stand straight again! But yes: I really was doing Refinement and Repetition drills. And I have to confess that this has put a kink in my practice schedule as well as my posture.

A week later, almost back to normal. At least, can move around without pain now (getting out of a chair is still a little iffy). My wife made me promise not to practice that draw anymore!
