I'm currently using Sport Pistol but switching to TiteGroup since it's now 20% cheaper for the 8 lb hug I just bought.
Sport Pistol is now $330 - $340 for 8 lbs

I've also put disassembled frames & slides into my cheapo Harbor Freight ultrasonic cleaner with good results.
After cleaning use a an air compressor blow gun to speed up drying.

I've also used Wite Out Correction Fluid.

I've had my Weber Tactical ratcheted Gamer gun belt for a couple of months now and have been pretty happy with it.
I bought a 2nd belt for a revolver rig and I think both arrived within a week of ordering.

I bought a Sig 1911 45 ACP back in 2014 when they had a promotion to buy their 1911 and get a 2nd 22 caliber 1911 free.
Both worked well. I just remember that the Sig Nitron 1911 didn't fit any of my 1911 holsters so I had to spend $70 for a new Comp-Tac holster. I think I sold them a couple of years later when I bought a 9mm 1911.

PB Graphite Dry Lube spray from Home depot has worked well so far, starting with a completely clean comp. A couple matches and a few range trips, no buildup.
Can you post a picture? I've read that the Graphite Dry Lubes leave a black residue.

engraving pen to jack hammer it out. Works great!
this is carbon build up from Sport Pistol under a 115 Everglades plated projectile
What's that bit? It looks like it's made of brass.

And if it's a jam, always clear the jam and finish the string to make sure the gun is good to go for the next string.

I did this process years ago. Bought a new cylinder & cylinder parts from S&W and sent them to TK to have the 2nd cylinder reamed to 9mm. Because I'm lazy I only use one 9mm load for all semi-autos, revo, and PCC.
You don't need a 2nd cylinder ... you can send yours to TK, have it reamed, and shoot 9mm or 38/357.

That's a bad lever, not a redi catch. I'm surprised that fits though. The clearance on the bolt release is very tight.
It's help in place by a little E-Clip. It should just pop off with a bit of a tug.
(The round part in this listing)
Correct ... I installed the Bad Lever because the Redi-Catch won't work with a dedicated PCC mag catch.
Some Colt pattern PCCs will allow a Redi-Catch to be used. I used one for many years on my Colt style PCC.
I run the Redi-Catch on all of my centerfire ARs.

Purchased a Blade-Tech holster and trimmed it on a bandsaw.

Is there anything similar to a bad lever/ redi catch that works with the jp ambi bolt release?
https://www.redi-mag.com/product/redi-catch/
I'm new to PCC and it feels so awkward to lock the bolt bag to make ready/show clear.
FYI - I run the Redi-Catch on my JP GMR-15 even though I was told that it wouldn't fit. I don't have a JP-5.
I've attached a pic so you can see the spacing.

You might get more info here: https://www.amtguns.info/
Check Ebay. I see Automag parts listed there.

Interesting idea for $8.95: https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2024/01/31/shot-2024-zeta6-rolls-safesnap-dry-fire-training-discs/
Looks like it's only made for 5 & 6 shot snubbies.

Glock Hydraulic Guide Rod and Spring by Angstadt Arms: https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2024/02/01/glock-hydraulic-guide-rod-spring-angstadt/
Did anyone here see it at SHOT Show? I didn't go this year.

I've been using a Blade-Tech since 2011 for my Witness Limited.

So this happened 2 days before a level 2 match. Dillon did their usual excellent job of quickly shipping a new replacement part, but it sucks that it happened. Looks like a MIM part.
Also, I had to use a sledgehammer to pound out the remaining stub from the bottom after soaking with Kroil overnight.
Maybe I'll use some anti-seize on the replacement.
Are broken Dillon operating handles a common occurrence?

Depends what day it is and who you talk to. I have purchased 8 shot cylinders and stars after I purchased I told 2 of my friends and they called and purchased. Later on someone else asked and I told them to call and they were told that cylinders and stars were not sold to the public. Go figure
^^^ This. S&W sold one to me along with the 8 shot cylinder and all other cylinder parts. I do not have a FFL.

Tons of people use USB cameras on their reloading presses. Look for borescope, inspection, endoscope & USB cameras.
I started using cheapo endoscope cameras connected to a phone or tablet but they don't last in my garage heat.
I bought this one for $40 a few years ago and have had zero problems:
