tocata

Hi, everybody, thank you for those interesting informations, I appreciate Doug Koenig hammer for the quality of the material and as they allow a lighter mainspring. I have it installed with EGW sear too. But one of my pistol, the training one, does not pass throught the three test mentioned, so I am very interessed to how you did to "undercut the the halfcock notch to properly capture the sear", making it deeper I suppose. What tool or file is necessery, looks pretty tiny there. Thank you for your help

your analysis is really interesting and I'm sure, this will help a lot of people as myself thanks

had the same problem with a limcat extended FP and had to do the same like JT : drill and soft emery paper till it goes in and out without sticking any more

what you say is interesting : I already notice that this may be applied to any other sport or manual work : the more you practice, the more the action is bringing to you sensations and then understanding and if still practicing, feeling and understandings brings you to assimilation... like : you repeat a shooting exercise , again and again and again and at one moment you just feel right and at that point you think : "that's the way, I can feel it know, I'm in" and then you have to repeat more and more to do it the same right manner till you won't have to think about it : it is becoming natural for you. I love those sensations

wow ! if your last reply is aimed to me, well I 'm sorry to have disturb this post, you know this is just a discussion and an idea brings to another idea... may be you're right let stay on the initial subject sorry again and above all let's stay kind

I have a pair of custom fit surgical telescopes and find a microscope better for the quality of work I'm trying to attain. I find that microscope is usefull for the really last checking of your work... what your surgical telescopes looks like ?

not at all ! I was even guessing there were no part two ! to force us to do it....and now I know it, it is obvious that it had to be given that way, I mean second part by MP ,just try it I suppose this is because you make your non-dominant eye working on the sights too,just let it like "lazy opened"; work the sights with your dominant eye only with kind of "wide vision" I feel like it is still the dominant eye that's working (my left eye )and the other one stands there but doesn't work sharply on the sights it just integrate a deeper vision of what is all around, other targets and moreover a better evaluation of distances In my sens, it is a bit like when you look around you with one eye or two eyes ,out of shooting I mean : with two eyes you get a really better appreciation of deepness. kind of : two eyes= 3D vision, one eye = 2D vision a question then: I'm a cross dominant too , but what the difference if not (cross) as the gun stays usually right in front of us ?

hi, on my opinion, this is right that a X20 or X25 magnifier is largely enough as Pat did, I bought the Edmond Optics X25 from Brownells and you really need to make it steady with a support otherwise you are getting a headake while trying to inspect your sear and hammer surfaces... as said Jeff686, what you see is moving at the opposite side of your own moving : it is confusing and it takes rather a long time to focus .. finally, a good eye loop is much more usefull and healthy for you don't need any aspirin nor medication for nerves crack !

Hello everybody, I'm shooting with standard major guns 40Sw for about two years now it's funny how things,let say progress, come one after the other, sometimes brain learns to the body and sometimes the body is learning to our mind... I just discover accidentally the way to shoot two eyes opened and I really appreciate it as it allows me to see mutch wider around this happened by surprise while I was practicing Benos "transition drill part 2" this is not at all the aim of that exercise but I discover there that I was able to shoot with my two eyes opened and the results on the targets were pretty good, may be better, and I was quicker on each next target... so I was wandering if you guys shooting for a long time were shooting two eyes opened and if this was a natural evolution...

a very good exercise that gives you a lot of informations, especially your limits between celerity of your splits and the results on your targets...thanks

I prefer butter pecan... I mean flat trigger, the short one 'cause with my "little" fingers, it is easier to catch it and its flat form allows me to catch it sometimes close to the bottom of the trig.without being penalized. Where I stay there are no gunsmith able to make any insert and we have to do with what is already existing. I put the to same ones on my two STI executive and edge (40SW)

thank you all for your kindness and your welcomings don't worry FranDoc (by the way thanks for this adress too) I get use with male humor, 't looks to be the same teasing all around the world !

You can also do the mainspring housing...some people leave them checkered, I cut them down to match the grip since I relieve that part as well...then I stipple them. A bit more detailed instruction (step-by-step with pictures): http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=67691&view=findpost&p=784502 wonderfull explanations there ! thanks so much

I'll try to do the same type of job on my polymer grip (I'll train myself on different kind of plastic before,that's for sure !) because here we have a warm and wet climate and the grip is regularly slippy with sweat even if we use fast grip liquid oftenly I found jasonub work very nice watching pics and reading carefully E.Warren topic,I saw nothing concerning this same job on the mainspring housing is there any reason for it ? thanks for helping a timid and beginner gunsmithing lady...

hi everybody ! I'm a 2 years practicing female IPSC shooter and mad addicted with this sport I read this forum for about one month and as I have regularly some questions to ask I decide to show up sorry if my english language is not so good this my french roots fault this forum is great
