My wife got hers too. The shot only works on about three specific strains. This strain isn't one of those.

Make sure the sear spring is properly installed and adjusted to proper pressure. If it is but hammer still follows the sear/hammer probably need to be recut.

Can't believe I got nailed by the flu this early in the year. Got it Friday halloween night from one of the walking petri dishes that came to the door begging for candy. By Monday, I was sick. This one is killer headache, body aches and fever of about 101. Those symptoms lasted about six days and the nose congestion set in a few days after onset. Now it has gone down into my lungs and I am coughing up green garbage. Must be really contagious as I never touched anything, so it must have come through the air. Wife caught it from me even though I was being careful (she is sick now). This year just gets better and better.

Maybe shoot a heavier bullet which will move POI up slightly?

Be careful on round height. If the feed lips are too wide, the slide will lock back with one round in the mag because the follower gets high enough to hit the slide lock. I always try to get it so the round is high enough to feed well but not higher than that. If it's any help: when I "adjusted" .40 mags to use 9mm, I found that narrowing the feed lip spacing by 1 mm (about .040") worked very well. However, not all mags have the same spacing so you want to tweak for best fit.

Our local range has had it in stock for a couple of weeks. Price is $80 for a box of 500. Had to laugh, at first they posted a sign of "limited quantities" but at those prices, they are just gathering dust. Not exactly flying off the shelf.

I see some "pros" in shooting videos with locked elbows and straight arms but they also have arms and shoulders like a bouncer..... like I did 40 years ago. As we get old, you have to accomodate a little and reduce stress on specific joints.

Mine is Ti but I got it a long time ago. I have since read posts that assert the Ti strikers are more brittle and prone to break or chip at the tip than steel over long use which mine does not get..... not a big Glock shooter. That "problem" may or may not be relevant to you, just seen it on the net. I see no drawback to a good quality steel lightened striker. Somebody here even posted pictures of how to do it to a stock striker.

Tie it to a rope and drag it behind your pickup truck. The vibration will knock loose any dirt that needs removing.

I used the "lightning strike" striker on my G35 and it definitely increases strike energy. I have not tried the ones you list. http://www.lspi.com/ IMHO, it is not the "extended tip" that reduces light strikes, it is the reduced mass which increases striker velocity and strike energy.

Maybe they are flirting with you. HK makes some of the best guns on the market.

Link or barrel fit is not right so it stresses the link during cycling.

People forget that ammo sold here is a world commodity, it's not just made in US. Our ammo supply used to be infused with tons of cheap ammo from overseas like Sellier + Bellott, Wolf, Tulah, Brown Bear and others. Most of that simply vanished for a long time because so much of their output has been diverted to supplying ammo to feed the various wars. There also have been times when US ammo makers have been "appropriated" for MIL contracts although they can't talk about it. But when you look at the whole picture, not just one or two US makers, the total supply of ammo available to the public is down and that means shortages.

Clean the FP channel with Q tip and acetone, NO OIL. On guns that are a pain to take apart, I sometimes use non-chlor brake cleaner spray with the tube tip pressed against the FP hole in the breach face and just hose it clean that way.

Wow..... the 9mm one holds a half a box of ammo! Unfortunately, not legal in my state...

extrapolating your data that would give you a group size a shade over 3" at 30 yards which seems pretty good for a Glock. Back when I read various gun test magazines, most production guns were lucky to hold a 3" group at 25 yards even with premium ammo. I do have guns that shoot "touching" holes at 15 yards but they are revolvers.

The CZ looks to me like it has a lower bore axis relative to the wrist. Aside from varying recoil springs, Beretta makes a D hammer spring about 30% lighter than standard which would reduce the peak recoil impulse by letting the slide unlock more easily. Othe than that, the gun is pretty much what it is.

I see it. My engineer brain remembered some stuff from 40 years back. That kind of looks like what's called an "underdamped" response. But the system includes the gun and all of its internals as well as your hands and wrists. The grip looks strong based on the small muzzle lift. Is it possible you'd get a better muzzle return if you let it rise a little more to preload the wrist muscles to help bring it back down? It's been years since I could shoot very well but I remember shooting my 92FS open gun and I got fastest accurate shots when I just relaxed and let the muzzle kind of do it's own thing. It flipped up but came right back down without much wobbling, I used the excursion time to prep the trigger and popped it as soon as the dot crossed the target again. The more I tried to force the muzzle, the worse I shot. I used to tell my boss when he tried to force the schedules on projects: things do have a natural rhythm and trying to force them to go faster usually makes everything go slower. He never listened.

Yeah, me too but I use them because they stop the frame hammering and I don't have to fight the recoil spring during assembly.

I wanted to do that but my wife won't let me. I guess she's right because our 32 year anniversary was 10/7/14..... and I forgot and she didn't even get mad.

Just in case, for those who are not aware: One of the widest and most pervasive scams running is increasing lately. I have been called five times in the last month. A scammer will call you on the phone (Indian accent and you can hear a lot of voice chatter in the background) and will give you a variant of this spiel: I work at the Windows Service center. Your computer has been infected with a virus and is sending us error messages. You need to go to a website (they give you the address) so I cn fix it. WARNING: that website allows them to take control of your computer and download viruses and malware. They also will demand you pay $ for them to fix it or they will trash the computer. You can just hang up but I recommend wasting as much time as you can since the time they are talking to you is time they are not scamming somebody else. http://sites.sju.edu/oit/index.php/2013/10/23/window-service-center-scam/ https://blog.malwarebytes.org/fraud-scam/2013/04/phone-scammers-call-the-wrong-guy-get-mad-and-trash-pc/ http://www.microsoft.com/security/online-privacy/avoid-phone-scams.aspx

You might try one of the variable rate recoil spring assemblies because it will prevent the slide from bottoming out. http://www.norecoil.com/abuffer.htm You could also try going up on the recoil spring and see if a heavier one improves it. I think Wolff sells recoil spring calibration packs.

The STI sight is a good one (looks like a Bomar?) but the cross pins are prone to breakage. They are not real hard to replace and STI sent me two of them when mine broke some years back.... the problem is the steel of the pin is very hard but also pretty brittle. Not sure why they use such a brittle pin (?) but see a lot of posts where they fracture in the center where the groove is machined and then separate into two pieces. I ended up getting a bright steel finish nail of the right diameter and then machining the center groove to accept the internal spring and using that. It will never fracture because the steel is a lot tougher.

I put a little bend in the left elbow (support) and hold the right one straighter but still slightly bent. I can't lock elbows any more because it stresses my rotator cuffs (shoulders) too much. I don't see the appeal of locked out elbows because it takes away the shock absorbing action the elbows can do during recoil if they can flex.
