  1. Last time I checked the concrete didn't burn. The tile will add esthetics AND brightness depending on the color you choose but the main thing is that moisture has an affinity for concrete and will come and go from it. So if humidity is a problem you may want to put a sealer or concrete paint on it so the humidity stays more constant and lower.

    Humidity + blued guns = RUST

    Good luck

  2. If they come out all the time [no jamming of the slide with stovepipes or other FTEjects] I would not worry about it. As the spring weakens a little with use, as almost all do, they'll go out farther. You could change the recoil spring on the slide to a weaker one.

  3. In the several I have, I've only gone a 19# or 17# in the hammer then the firing pin strikes very lightly which may affect your reliability. So this helps a little but get a good book and be careful or better yet get some GOOD help from someone who REALLY knows what they are doing. This isn't like working on your car. A lot more is involved, it's precise and you or someone else can get hurt [or worse] even if it seems to be fine but it isn't done properly. It'll get you when you least expect it.

    And how would one know if the hammer and sear geometry is correct in the first place?? Some of the people who do work on guns are really competent and some are no better than some of the idiots working on your car - - scary thought, huh!

  4. David, sorry to hear that. I wish you both the best and a lot of luck too. My sweetie got diagnosed with lung cancer a few weeks ago; it's had a pretty good start already. So it looks like it's going to be a rough ride since they think the treatment is only life prolonging and that all depends on how she responds to it. We just got the cat doing better from an auto immune disease that eats red blood cells.

    I'll check out the Zango juice - - I might even try some. I hope it has plenty of alcohol in it.

  5. Congrats on the new pt gig.

    The Police need all the help and understanding they can get. I've always said I wouldn't take their job if it paid three times what it does. Extremely dangerous since you don't always know who the bad guy is, people at both ends of the problem complain about you, lots of politics, nasty people to deal with and little appreciation. Oh yeah, and the pay sucks!

  6. I had bullets from them, thousands of which were fine, but some as large as .4025". They should be a max of .400 or .4005 to chamber well. I have an STI which has a much tighter chamber than many guns and it is a problem. I've had reject ratios as high as 20%. Apparently one machine was making over sized bullets, so they are mixed in the batch. One other issue is with some of the bullets that are just slightly oversized: When you seat the bullets, they are not perfectly concentric with the case anyway, so this coupled with the bullet being larger a bit gives you more rejects. My recommendation is to check the bullets before you load them by passing them thru your gauge first - - unless you really like pulling bullets that is.
