  1. I gotta ask, what is the purpose of the stippling on the side of the trigger guard? Seems useless to me, and not very attractive to look at! Is there an advantage to it?

    This pistol has had so many different stippling and re-stippling patterns during its life so that there are remnants and relics of earlier uses and treatments of this particular gun.

    No advantage to it on the side of the trigger guard, but no disadvantage either. I like the underside of trigger guards stippled sometimes, and it was more aesthetically pleasing back then to continue it up along the sides a bit.

    Id say you found one of the lesser unattractive parts of this pistol to notice!;)

  2. 600 grit sandpaper doesnt "polish" anything; it removes metal. Perhaps its not the disconnector that youre feeling when you hand cycle it, its the slightly uneven surface from hittting the rails with sandpaper. Detail strip the frame, lube the rails heavily, throw the slide back on, and work it smooth.

    The trigger could be hanging up as well; see if that will slide out of the frame under its own weight and isnt hanging up on the frame someplace.

  3. Not with a properly built gun with good parts it won't. I'm not recommending it as a dry fire technique, but it did get my "following" issue sorted out 100%. I know people are going to have a cow over it, but it beats the shit out of AD'ing when you're loading up. ;)

    I do the same thing .

  4. Allrighty then, so I guess the general feeling is that the bake on stuff isn't that durable. I'll give it a shot and see what happens, and I'll post picks in then next couple of days and let you guys know how it goes. Thanks for all the advice, I'm definitely going to drench it in the TCE cleaner, bake it to preheat, then spray probably 3-4 very light coats using a hairdryer to dry in between, then bake for the 30 mins at 300 as Brownell's recommends. Wish me luck!!!

    Sounds like you want gunkote; Its available from Brownells in a spray can and its way better than the moly teflon stuff.

    Duracoat is best used if you bake it also, it just doesnt HAVE to be baked.

    Duracoat and Gunkote are a tie, in my book, with the edge going to duracoat for the wider color selection.

  5. I immediately think of the Lanny Bassham story about telling his daughter not to spill the glass she was carrying; he told her, she spilt it.

    To shoot penalty free, as a goal, is really saying "focus" on not hitting no shoots, and not missing the paper.

    There are better things to focus on, like the A zone.

    man, Im one to talk about this crap.

  6. I shot this classifier yesterday with decent results.

    7.33 seconds 56 points 7.6398 hf

    I am currently a B Lim shooter but this one shows to be 79% on the calculator.

    I am trying for my A card this year so the practice has been paying off. One more like this and I am in A class finally.

    It was a good run, it looked smooth.

    I shot it at 64% and that was 50 points with a mike on the last paper. And I buggered up the reload. So I dont understand how I managed to do it in 6.00sec. If, IF, that last shot woulda been an A, Id have been at 92%!!

    At least my C class is safe til after area 3.;)
