I wish you weren't... The real question is, how many primers do I have to feed said revolvers? That's how you really determine someone's wealth nowadays, lol.

I'll try it in the two N-frames I have on-hand to see if it drops into both. One is steel and has about a billion rounds through it and the other is scandium so it should be a good test of tolerances. I mean... I do okay, but nothing like that. Really it's that I hyper-focus on one platform and sell off everything I don't use on a regular basis. I also quit buying revo's after the prices went bonkers.

Really excited, Warren. I've ordered one; my other two N-frames are "tuned"* but depending on how much I like the feel of this kit I might be ordering two more. *Well, one. The other is hypothetically tuned but it's still at the smith's nine months later. Hence my excitement for this kit, lol.

Pry from the cocking lever opening, then the trigger guard, doing a little each time and swapping back and forth. The side plate holds the internals in place but they're not under sideways tension so nothing will fly out at you. Having said that, the hammer/spring linkage is literally just resting in place and gets jarred loose very easily. It also has a donut-shaped bushing where it interfaces with the hammer that's not pressed on or anything so it might come out with the linkage and then fall off. Remove that part carefully and set it aside. Don't force the side plate on. If it's not dropping in, something is out of alignment and needs to be fixed.

Actually, no, their parts are really well-priced. Which makes it worse, lol.

Try ordering from Chiappa. Off the top of my head, the following parts "require" an FFL: Barrel Firing pin Both sear components Hammer Return lever (their version of the rebound slide) Cylinder stop Basically all parts of the cylinder

*sighs in Sidewinder*

Cool, I was going to ask if there were plans for a "how to" on installing and setting up this kit. ...Rhino hammers next?

I was wondering why you asked about fired cases. That makes sense.

Oh, I got the reference – I'm actually running a "Miami Vice"-themed IDPA match next month. I just thought making a joke out of it was better than addressing the implication of the product being vaporware when it was A. only announced three months ago and B. very explicitly disclaimered as needing a minimum order quantity before production would start. Personally, I'm just glad there are still people willing to take on making competition revolver parts when the market is so small and (quite literally) dying.

That's awesome!

I don't think the RevUp will be compatible.

I don't think they've started manufacturing yet.

Wound up replacing the strain crew with a 1/2" long set screw and LocTite. I bought this gun used, and the mainspring had been bent enough that the strain screw was actually a stock-length unit (that I had to shim in the middle of a match due to light strikes). The replacement screw gives me a little more adjustment so it made the most sense.

I like to use a dash of paprika, myself.

Dunno, looks like a solid group to me.

I think you might have misread the room on that one...

I was wondering if shimming was an option. That does not sound easy, lol.

I mean, you seem to shoot revolvers once in a while, so if it works for you... That's what's currently in my TRR8... hence this whole project, lol. Excellent tips, thank you!

I finally have my N-Frames running right so I'd like to set up some strain screws at the correct length (and a few slightly longer in case light strikes show up). What's everyone's favorite method for shortening them and keeping the tip square?

How do you like those grips? I keep kicking around picking up a set. Do you use a holster or just pocket it?

I think the barrels are Gen 5 (at least on the MR920L) according to the site. I recently picked one up and really like it; feels like a Glock with all the upgrades you'd want to add to it.

Ooooo, that looks lean and mean.

Yes. It basically projects an oversized ring that's not visible unless the chevron is "off screen", showing you how to correct your aim.

Good callout. I haven't experienced that, but I've only run it indoors so it's nowhere near max brightness.
