Yup, full length guide rod. The flat spring seems to be a good upgrade from my reading. I don't think it's an extractor issue.. The slide seems to need a little help pulling the next round from the magazine and sometimes shoving it home. The flat spring I got is a 13lb as recommended by Wilson...

After almost ten years of wishing and wanting, I finally got my "unicorn". A stainless steel Springfield Armory range officer in 9mm. I've had a couple 1911s in the past but they've always been .45. 9mm versions are pretty rare around here and the local shops always wanted an arm and a leg to...

Update: We bought a box of tula and a box of Winchester white bow at the wally mart and hit the range again. Tried the tula first and while it didn't exhibit any signs of the bullet walking out of the case, the empty cases also stuck very hard in the cylinder... Like tap the ejector rod on the...

I put a set of tru glo night sights on my 43 and, along with a fair amount of dry firing, it has improved my group size tremendously. Try using more trigger finger, similar to double action revolver shooting.

The rep I spoke with said it has to do with the laws of inertia. A lighter bullet is more apt to travel with the gun because there's less mass holding it stationary. I did some reading and found the Bobrick compatibility chart. We're going to try some of the brands listed there. If I can find...

The wife got herself a new 9mm ruger LCR and really likes it, but we are having a problem with bullets pulling loose from the cases. The fifth round in the cylinder will sometimes walk out of the case, locking the gun up. So far, we've tried federal and blazer 115 grain. Today, out of 25...

Here's mine: Remington 870 12 gauge with Speedfeed II stock set. Looking into a +2 extension for it.

Coulda been the lose nut behind the grip? ;) Work on your trigger control. I've owned both the G19 and the 92, both fine guns that just take a little getting used to; both more than accurate enough for their intended purpose as well.

Ditch the bipod and sock for a proper bag set. I use the 2 bag set from Caldwell. Then learn how to set them up properly. That should help eliminate most of the vertical stringing. I also like to shoot my gun "free recoil". Basically means having no contact with the gun when firing except a...

Built my own reloading bench. Cost me about $35 in materials and a few hours of time. Don't remember the measurements off hand, but I think I still have all the measurements written down somewhere if someone's interested. Also made my own "Boomstick". Started with a H&R single shot...

How about a rimfire: Savage Mark II BTV with a Bushnell sharpshooter 3-9x32. The trigger's been lightened, that's it. Five shot group at 100 yards using Wolf Match ammo. Here's one close to a half inch without the flyer: Both groups were shot during my first attempt at 100 yards...

A big +1 to Primary Arms. Great optics, great quality, super fast shipping, and a pretty good product lineup at good prices.

ER nurse: "So, how did you shoot yourself again, sir?" Video Dummy: "Well, I was fighting this paper bag see..." Sounds like a psych evaluation would be shortly to follow!

I can only imagine the thoughts running through your head listening to the HISSS right in front of your face! Looks it turned out better than it could have though. 'Least nothing went BOOM!

Think I"m guilty of this one too. If I didn't post, I know I at least stopped by once or twice!
