I’m just as skeptical reading the GunZone article as some of you are. One thing that puzzles me a bit is, the article is on the GunZone page for some time now, and the subject well known and discussed, but I didn’t read a comment from SIGARMS anywhere yet; I suppose they (SA) are sneaking...

No excuse for such a level of ignorance; although it’s very common finding partially- or even completely ignorant people in the selling business, there should be a minimal standard to be expected in the gun and ammo trade; I heared over more stupid comments by gunshop sales people than I like...

If the report is correct, one cannot help than take a seat with open mouth. :uhoh: If Spaulding doesn’t have a criminal record, why they even hold him in jail? Reads like a justified use of a gun for self defense. Quickloader

P95Carry I second 9mmepiphany for the technical explanation. Once I appreciated the concept it didn't bother me, you could see it as a performance issue warranting reliability when the gun would be extremely dirty.:D I completely understand your engineer’s feelings, I had them too in...

And so the story goes on: http://abclocal.go.com/wabc/news/investigators/wabc_investigators_112603gunlube.html# :confused: Food for thinking, or maybe not. Quickloader

I too use a Sprinco COR-BON device, together with a Wolff 21lbs recoil spring in my SIG P229/357SIG, works very well; didn't have any FTFs, FTEs yet with my handloads or Federal- and S&B Ammo, around 2ks til now; I don't shoot UMC in this caliber; slides always locks open after the last round...

For removing previous lube and degreasing I use kerosene in a (flower-) trigger sprayer bottle with adjustable nozzle, together with a toothbrush, medium paintbrush, bristle bore brush, followed by blowing out with compressed air or a hairdryer when necessary. Kerosene and mineral spirits is...

FYI, out of the thread's point Numrich's lists old style- and new style parts for the 500, 590 resp., this may explain what HSMITH described above regarding interchangeability. http://www.e-gunparts.com/productschem.asp?chrMasterModel=0840z500...

HSMITH that's something I noticed in my 500, the locking lug pin is inserted in quite a shoddy fashion into the lug, barely having metal left at the underside of the drill hole it sits in, the paper-thin ridge left is heavily bulged from pressing in the pin. Thanks for the tip! As I...

HSMITH how did you break these guns, what failed? For functionality I'm satisfied with my Mossberg 500A, I couldn't stand the finish of some internal parts and the action bars which were quite rough at the edges and tended to cut ever so slightly at the raceways of the aluminum receiver...

TonyB the rubber Hogue is very concealable by its dimensions but has a tendency to drag on clothing, typical telltale if your shirt sticks to the grip. Same model as the rubber one is available in hard black nylon which will not interfere with clothing, or one of the wood grips which come...

Campusninja you're right on that one! Though your SP101 should last a lifetime, one never can have enough of them, right? SIGs are nice too, eventually you'll end up with the urge to have both of them! :D Quickloader

Campusninja I added the Hogue rubber grip to my SP101, feels and handles superb! Only thing is the distance from the grip's back to the trigger's a bit short for my hands, needs some adjusting of the trigger finger or I'll block the double action stroke before the hammer is released...

Sisco nice worK! I especially like the front sight; removed the serrations on mine and put on a 400 grit finish before blackening, resulted in a little shallower silhouette too, much better then factory original. How did you remove the toolmarks in the cylinder flutes before polishing...
