    Double tapping Striker-fired pistols

    Neither - your concern is Reset. It is the forward movement after firing until it will fire again (not necessarily all the way forward to the where the trigger rests without your finger on it), as you stated. As for a trigger job - in my opinion you can adapt to any reasonable reset (assuming...

    This is for everybody who continues to insist that anyone in their home is a threat

    Some random thoughts on all this: Every situation is different but many are overlaying their own environment on this event. You may be absolutely certain that all your family members would be awake, alert, and have acted and/or moved according to your plan (not a safe assumption in my opinion...

    Need specs for S&W 1911 dovetail (rear sight)

    I compared a Warren Tactical sight on a Sig to a Warren Tactical sight for a 1911 to see what would give the same height of the notch above the slide for both. As the notch dimensions are identical I would think the height above the slide would be similar, but I am not going to proceed on that...

    Need specs for S&W 1911 dovetail (rear sight)

    I'm still confused! I have attached a jpeg showing the measurement I need. I don't see that I can assume the front edge of the sight is flush with the slide or that I have a reference between the top of the slide and any part of the sight. I'm hoping there is a standard for the "S& W dovetail"...

    Need specs for S&W 1911 dovetail (rear sight)

    Keeping in mind I'm a novice, that sounds like measuring the dovetail which we can do. It looks like there must be a notch cut out of the rear of the slide (with the dovetail extending below) and I don't know how deep that cut should be. I have emailed Warren to see if the have the...

    Need specs for S&W 1911 dovetail (rear sight)

    Another rookie question here. I bought a Rock Island 1911 in .38 super as a base gun for "do it myself" projects to become familiar with 1911s. One of my first projects is to replace the sights so I ordered a set of Warren Tactical sights for S&W dovetail and I plan to have a machinist/shooter...

    Shoot or no shoot?

    Rephrase the question... to "kill or no kill?" Are their actions bad enough that, legally and morally, killing them is an acceptable and necessary response? The answer may well be "yes" but I feel it is important to be clear that shooting is not some righteous, romanticized response without...

    Thoughts on Crimson grips

    Setting aim point? How do you choose to adjust the laser relative to the sights? I just picked up a S&W MP340CT and it is a little disconcerting to have the spot match the sight at only one distance. I'm thinking I will either set it to match at a short distance or adjust the laser parallel...
