Try different ammo. It sounds like the bullet profile/c.o.l. of the ammo you are using is such that the bullet is engaging the rifling when fully chambered. Thus it is very difficult to extract a loaded round. I noticed my hellcat has a shorter chamber and I had to reduce the c.o.l. of my...

A good friend of mine has been a gunsmith for over 50 years. I asked him once what he thought of Taurus revolvers… he said if you wire enough of them together you can use them as a boat anchor.😂

I would be interested in a full size slide set up like the compact. RDS where it belongs and the lightning cuts to make it cycle.

I bought the original TX as a plinker and range toy. I don’t need a smaller version of it.

Be careful with nsaid pain relievers like ibuprofen and alieve. Prolonged use will ruin your kidneys. My m.i.l. had bad knees and took them for years. She suffered complete kidney failure and spent ten years on dialysis. My sister was going down the same road but the dr. noticed a decline in...

The front sight on my sfx is dovetailed into the slide. I can’t say what pattern dovetail they use but it’s not screwed on like a Glock.

I may dry fire a new pistol (with snap caps) a couple dozen times before I shoot it the first time just to familiarize myself with the trigger. (Where the wall is, what the break feels like, etc.) I feel dry firing does nothing to condition the shooter to recoil and muzzle blast. These are the...

I like mine. I kept the mag well on otherwise it pinched the crap out of my hand when inserting a mag. The mag well keeps the meaty part of my hand clear of the mag well and solves the problem.

I would start by stripping the slide (Removing the striker and the extractor with its associated parts.) Be careful, they are under spring tension. Disassemble inside a large clear plastic bag in case parts launch. Give everything a good cleaning and re lube per operation manual guidelines...

Wolff gun springs only has factory standard and extra power springs. Have to get a new guide rod to run them on as the factory 4” service is captured. I tried the Wolff solid guide rod with full power spring and had problems not going back into battery so I’m pretty sure a reduced power spring...

Dinner with family, then 11 o’clock candle light church, then home to bed. Merry Christmas everyone.

Is it damaged? SA might warranty it.

I have found Amazon and ebay to be the best source for coin batteries. You can usually get a ten pack for the cost of one or two at a store. Name brand too. My wife has a battery candle addiction so I buy them for her online and just help myself to 2032's when I need one for a red dot.

Cool. What are some of your favorite hunting places? Not asking for specifics just like parks, campgrounds, under the bleachers? That sort of thing. Where does one go about getting a good strong magnet? Cost?

Yes most rimmed straight walled cases headspace on the rim. I believe Hornady directs reloaders to shorten cases for FTX bullets due to the bullets long ogive. I.e. keep c.o.a.l. within max. This ensures the cylinder will turn in revolvers and proper feeding in lever guns. This is something...

I still have and use all the ones you mentioned.

My carbide sizer die polishes the case just fine. As long as the cases aren’t full of dirt they just get resized, loaded and dropped back in the “to be fired“ bucket. Never had an issue. Pretty doesn’t matter to me. This is for 9mm, the bulk of my shooting. For other calibers I tumble for a...

Mmm…my mouth is watering. Congratulations.
