Here's what happened! I have everything put back together, but I'm bothered by why it dislodged in the first place. When I re-installed the spring and hooked the long leg over the pin on the hand, the coiled part of the spring sort of twisted or rolled on it's side a little instead of staying straight up and down.

Well, it turns out that the hand spring fell out of the trigger and jammed between the hammer and trigger. I put a little more tension on the spring and put everything back together. I'll take it out tomorrow and run some rounds through it. Thanks to everyone for the input and advice.

I was out chronographing some loads and zeroing my 929 this afternoon. I fired 40 flawless shots. Then, I loaded a new moon to do some training. The 1st bullet fired, then all I got was click, click, click. I opened the cylinder and looked at the primers, not a mark on them. I loaded a new moon and the same thing happened, 1st round fired then nothing but clicks. I turned the strain screw a half turn in, but nothing changed. I loaded another moon and ran quickly through the cylinder. 3 rounds fired and 5 didn't, but on the last click, the trigger failed to return forward. I've tried to

I've tried it before going 1-2-4-3-S, but I have a hard time passing up a plate and not shooting it, so I'm 1-2-3-4-S now.

9mm 124 grain Load Recommendation Minor PF
rooster mcbee replied to jarhead1104's topic in 9mm/38 Caliber
I chronoed some loads yesterday. 4.0gr of Sport Pistol under a 124gr Berry RN bullet averaged 1099 fps, SD 7, PF 136. 3.2gr of Sport Pistol under a 124gr Berry RN bullet averaged 950 fps, SD 17, PF117. Fired from a Colt Competition 9mm. -
I want to load some 160 gr. Black Bullets for my S+W 929 using Sport Pistol powder. These will be used for Steel Challenge and ICORE matches. I have in mind starting with 2.8 grs. and going up from there to meet PF. Should I start lower, or is this too low already? Also, what OAL should I load. Thanks, Doug

Very nice. Thanks you! -
Best Rimfire Pistol for Steel Challenge?
rooster mcbee replied to Speedwagon's topic in Steel Challenge
I've been shooting Buckmarks for about 8 years. I find them to be very reliable without much tweaking or accessory investment. I don't know if you are aware, but Browning is producing a Buckmark with a light weight barrel that is threaded and comes with a muzzle brake that is removable/changeable. That's the way I would go if I were starting fresh. -
Gentlemen, thank you for the advice. I was completely confused about how this spring went in. I was trying to double it over, make the legs parallel to each other. The pictures and advice on technique saved the day for me. I read your responses and went to work on getting that spring in place. It wasn't that hard, once I understood what I was trying to do. I finished putting the revolver together and headed out to the range. After a couple of tweaks on the strain screw, the gun ran perfect. Thank you again for the help. Doug

I took my 929 apart today to smooth some parts and install an Apex hammer. I removed the trigger/hand assembly. Somewhere during this process the hand came loose from the trigger and the hand spring fell out. I cannot figure out how to get the spring to go back into it's slot. I tried pushing it in with a punch, but it never catches on anything, it just flies out. Please, someone tell me how to get this tiny spring back in the revolver so I can finish this project. Thank you, Doug

I need some opinion's for a light 9mm Steel Challenge load with Berry's 100 and 115 grain bullets out of a 5 inch barrel. Which would be better, Vihtavuori 310 or Vihtavuori 320? Also, would WST or WSF, or AA-2 be applicable with bullets this light? Thanks, Doug

Wiland 5 inch barrel, 4.1 Sports Pistol with a Berry's 9mm 100 grain bullet gets me a 111PF.

Right now I'm using Oakley Prizm Field. Enhances the white targets for me. Also tried Oakley T22 and T45 prizm. They work well too.
