Unfortunately, I don’t know. Old shooter with medical problems sold it to a bullseye shooter (I shoot bullseye too), who sold it to me...he didn’t know what the loads were either. Looked like 124gr Montana Golds, but don’t know powder.

I just picked up a used open gun in .38super, round count unknown. When I test fired it with some of the previous owner’s reloads, I couldn’t get it to group any better than about 4-5” at 25 yards. I did notice there’s some leading in the comp. I pulled the gun apart and looking down the barrel, the grooves look a little shallow. What do y’all think?

Thanks a bunch, guys! Poking and prodding with a BASD worked!

Need help. I was trying to see how many rounds I could stuff in a RIA mag with a ParaOrdnance base pad and trimmed follower. In doing so, the follower got stuck in the bottom of the mag. the spring is compressed solid, so I can’t get the basepad off. I’ve tried banging it on the workbench, and hooking a dental pick under the follower to try to pull it up...no luck. Anyone have any suggestions, preferably without destroying anything? Here’s a pic:

Just to follow up on this, I got it back from Lone Wolf and it looks like the same parts. I don't know what they did, but it fits now.

I still like the titanium hammers and their locktime is very quick. They do tend to wear a bit. I've still got a few stashed.

Looks cool, but what's it for? Limited 10?

I'm pretty sure...it was marked as a .40 barrel and .40 Sight Block. I ended up sending both back to Lone Wolf to see if they can figure it out.

For anyone that's installed one of the newer sight blocks on a Lone Wolf threaded G35 barrel, did it go on easily? I was trying to put mine on it went about one turn and stopped. I'm not sure if it's designed to be a super tight fit that needs a lot of force to put on, or if something is wrong with either my barrel or sight block.

Is there a way to use the housing to create an adjustable 2-stage trigger? If so, I think it could be popular in the bullseye world.

If the top end is basically like a Glock, I wonder if a G35 or G24 top end would fit?

Sure, but if I can take it out of the slide (reciprocating mass) and add it to non-reciprocating mass (grip/frame) and keep the total weight within the limit, I'd think it might still be advantageous.

Okay, so suppose I have grips made out of solid pewter or brass; they look pretty. They're not like screwing on an SJC frame weight to my Glock, but they're are heavier than your average wood panels. Legal or not? If they're illegal, if I have grips with steel inserts in them (ala Pachmyars) or are checkered steel and weigh more than wood, what then? What would be the weight limit on grips?

In Limited, I think scoring major is a pretty clear advantage. I've still just Limited minor for fun. In Singlestack, I think the advantage is less clear. Has anyone won a Singlestack Nationals shooting minor? I seemed to recall there were definitely some top shooters choosing to shoot minor at the Nationals.

Eric Grauffel seems to do okay with hinged trigger guns. I think it's mostly something to get used to.
