Aloha Andy,

Thanks for your message.

I would like to inquire on getting some work done on my Tripp 2011 open pistol 38s. I bought this pistol on gun broker a while back but had not shot it much until recently. Externally it looks like a nice pistol but when I started shooting it and broke it down I am seeing some issues that I thought I should have checked.

The first issue is that the slide does not move as smoothly as my other 2011's (40 limited). It's okay right after cleaning but after a few rounds there seems to be a hitch just about when the barrel starts to rise.

The cone comp is contacting the front of the slide which I think is causing the comp to unscrew. Old school three hole cone comp.  I removed the comp and relieved the front of the slide a bit, got .003 clearance and used red loctite but it's touching again and unscrewing again.

The wear on the barrel's lower lugs look bad. The edges are peened and rounded.

The mounting for the CMore needs to be re-done. It looks like either the holes in the frame or mount are not symmetrical which I think is causing the mount screws to loosen even with red loctite. I can see with my eyes that the screws are not in line with one another but it may be the holes in the mount that are not aligned and pushing on the screws. 

I'll take some pics of the barrels lugs and try to get the mount screws too.

Thanks for your message! Gaine
