Thanks for the clarification !!

[Glock 45]

John,

I am asking what you plan to do with the guns. 

You might be putting money into a platform/gun that isn't a good choice for some of the games that we are playing.

Gotcha..He has expressed intrest in IPSC but in general, has no set purpose for the gun. Ill be shooting IPSC with my 38 super...

[Glock 45]

You are the same guy that is looking at putting an optic on a single-stack 45, right?

Shooting bowling pin matches?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Actually its a 38 super, but yes..I asked about optics or comp. Actually my brother has the Glock and I was asking for him...

[Glock 45]

I have an older Glock 45cal that does not have an accessory rail. Its got custom barrel, comp, trigger ect. but Id like to put a sight on it. Is it possable to just buy a frame for this gun (newer version with rail) and swap the inards over ? Would the top end be the same ?

[As The Saying Goes, If It Weren't For Bad Luck]

Well, being a new guy here, I dont think it would be polite to laugh at your pain, but what a great story...made my day !

[Colt Mark Iv Series 80 Question]

John,

to furtherly clarify rishii explanation, have a look at this picture.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, Ive got the general idea...Back when I owned the gun before, I had all this apart..just needed a little refresher. Great info ! Thanks

[Colt Mark Iv Series 80 Question]

Thats part of the series 80 parts, looks like someone "de-80-fied" it 

I think the 80 series firing pin is what holds the plunger in place.... and make sure you still ahve the 2 little 80 series levers in the frame that ride next to the sear and hammer as well..... not that you NEED them, wihtout the plunger, etc....... but as long as you're fixing it back to stock.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Yes, they are there..thats what caused me to look at the plunger or lack of. The firing pin thats in there has a groove (for lack of a better description) towards the back that lines up with the plunger hole. Im guessing the dummy took apart what he could see and didnt realize it fell out when he had the firing pin out..I hope!

[Sight Or Comp ?]

Ok, Im noticing a trend here..thanks for the quick responses...Im looking at the Weigand mount. Any thoughts ?

[Colt Mark Iv Series 80 Question]

I've got a Colt Mark IV series 80 government that I just bought (I owned it before and bought it back from the same fella). As I was stripping it to clean it, I noticed that the firing pin plunger and spring were missing. Ive ordered another set and wasn't sure exactlly what, If anything held it into the slide. Anyone be able to help ?

[Sight Or Comp ?]

Im ready to make the next upgrade on my Colt 38 super. Ive already done the extended mag/safety, trigger job and mag well. Im ready to either add a new barrel with a comp. or a weigand sight mount w/a pro-point. Any suggestions on which way to go ? Can only afford one at this time....
