Three men are talking in a bar.. Man #1: I bought my wife a new Corvette for Mother's day and she can make that thing go from zero to 60 in five seconds. Man #2: That's nothing, I bought my wife a new Ferrarri and she can make it go from zero to 60 in FOUR seconds. Man #3: that's nothing, my wife can make hers go from zero to 300 in one second. Man #1: What did you buy her? man #3: a bathroom scale.

That is one screwed up forcing cone. The factory says SW should gap between .003 and .010, but I have seen new guns as wide as .015". The crooked thing is not unusual, even on new guns. But, worst I have seen is maybe .003" side to side variation. Yours needs to be fixed.

They made be made to fit, but that don't mean they work, your still relying on the extractor to grab and hold the smaller 9mm round in place, if it's not holding the round in place which i doubt it is, is where the misfires are coming from, take some of the rounds that have dented primers and try to fire them in another 9mm see if they go bang, I imagine they will. They dio fire in other guns. Sometimes they will fire in the G35 on second strike, not always. The Glock holds the 9mm round pretty tight because it has a pivoting extractor which easily accomodates the slightly smaller case rim diameter. My Springfield XD-40 (which has a fixed extractor) does not hold tension well using a 9mm conversion barrel and will FTE sometimes. It doesn't light strike.

My mind wanders back to two years ago when I was getting new cases of Selleir and Bellotte 9mm FMJ for $105.

But, you learned that lesson long before it was too late to listen.... gotta like that.

I think it has a shade too much headspace, along with the crummy ammo and hard primers. If the price of new 9mm ammo ever drops under $300/case, maybe I'll buy some new stuff......

No secret on how to polish steel: start with sandpaper of about #600, then #800, then coarse polish then finer polish. I like to use a little light machine oil when I do the sandpaper step. You can use a Dremel with the soft buff wheel on the final polish steps just don't get the metal too hot. Auto chrome polish is good for a final polish.

Correct... The no name seagull sniper poster can fly in and take a dump wherever they choose and then hide behind their anonymity. Not all no name posters are trolls but most trolls are no name posters. The other thing too: it allows bozos to reregister under a different name after they post something amazingly stupid. A guy tagged "JLB" at another forum was lecturing people before the last election and GUARANTEED the republicans would regain control of the senate and house because Americans were sick of democrats.... well, we know how that election turned out. using a screen name gives people like that the option of getting away from the stupid things they say.

I always wondered why we needed a committee to promote unamerican activities. Seems like we have enough of those already.

It's dangerous to post your name online. You wouldn't believe some of the psychos I have run into in travels on the net.

Are you installing over an AOL connection? That thing locks up and crashes all the time for mine.

My IPOD charges the battery from the USB port using a cable. Why won't the stupid thing play at the same time? I still had half a charge on the battery, I just wanted to top it off while I listened. Kind of annoying it locks up the thing while it charges.

That's what I was thinking. The sear and hammer faces are so critical to get a perfect trigger pull it's easy to get them off a touch and have random hammer follow. As Josh mentioned sear spring pressure above, I was wondering if that had been checked? I know you said 3# trigger pull, but the sear spring has to be measured separately. One leaf of the sear spring pushes on the trigger, one on the sear. They should be about equal. measure as follows: Get a good trigger pull gauge. Hold the hammer fully back with your thumb. measure just the first part of the trigger's movement before it engages the sear and see how much spring force there is. That is the "trigger return" leaf. measure the trigger pull to where the trigger would normally break (hammer must be pulled back for this) and that measures both leafs of the sear spring. The "sear return" leaf force is the second reading minus the first. usually, on a good trigger setup, you only need maybe 10 - 16 ounces (each) to work, higher is OK. The two readings should be approximately equal. You can probably stop the hammer follow by increasing the tension on the "sear return" leaf, but that won't fix the underlying geometry problem. With a 3# trigger, you should easily have enough pressure from the leaf to work without hammer follow. Some 1911's have triggers at 1.5# that don't follow, which means the sear spring force is really light.

Yes, it's a G35 with a 9mm conversion barrel from EFK firedragon.

Right, that's why I was asking about normal front edge to slide gap. On the stock barrel, it's about .003". Same on the EFK, it just looks like they drilled the throat a bit too deep on the EFK.

+1The right way to check an overtravel screw adjustment is to tap the pin out of the main spring housing to release spring pressure, then pull the trigger all the way back and hold it. Use your thumb to slowly raise and lower the hammer all the way and see if you feel any drag as the hammer hooks move past the sear nose. The half cock notch sticks out farther than the full cock notch, if it's going to rub it will probably rub on the 1/2 cock notch. You need to adjust the overtravel screw until the hammer moves past the sear nose with NO CONTACT.

I remember my doc put me on Patanol a long time ago, and he mentioned the outrageous price kaiser was getting gouged for it by the manufacturer. Unfortunately, I don't do well with steroid eye drops because it gave me migraines. Don't know why, but I went from having a couple of migraines a month to having five a week and the visual effects were so severe they were terrifying. So, patanol is no go for me.

That's always a possibility.

Interesting, I thought it would be measured with the barrel all the way to the rear because the pressure of the recoil spring would push it back.

It's an EFK 9mm conversion barrel, so gaston's minions never had a hand in it. The funky thing it's doing is too many light strike misfires.

We fly without a net, we "do without", and we hope like hell we don't already have anything that needs treatments like that OR have any accidents of ANY kind in the next 20 years.The rest of us just declare bankrupcty. Kudos for a succinct and accurate summation of the American Health Care system as it now exists.... God help us all. Bankruptcy and/or death about covers it. wait.... the "shut up and die quietly" medical plan is for patients of the VA.

I know what you mean... you sure wouldn't see that kind of intolerant, violent behavior among Bush supporters. Well.... unless it was the throng of rednecks who disrupted and stormed out of a Linda Ronstadt concert after she said something about the war.... trashing the lobby of the hotel in the process.... or maybe, the good ole boys phoning in death threats into the Dixie Chick concerts. I guess the folks on both sides aren't so enlightened, are they?

Good one.... I would have put Tom Cruise, he's prettier......

I shaped the tip on my 9mm extractor so it fits the rim and web precisely, that is the hook fits in the web and the flat bottom of the notch just presses the flat of the rim. It came from the factory set up so only the end of the tip dug into the webbed groove (and it worked mostly) but it works better when it's fitted. As for tension, they say about 15 - 20 ounces is about right. Mine somtimes will slip the rim when the tension drops to about 8 ounces or so.
