    'Red 9' C96 Identification, 1920 rework?

    In the first pic shown in post body, looking from rear of pistol. I don't know the answer, just noticed the variation between upper digits and lower digits.

    Mark IV doesn't always fire

    " I installed the Tandemkross Victory trigger, and then the problem started happening." Hmm...hmmm...🤔

    Anyone have success ordering checkering tools from Petrograd Tools?

    Even if they responded...how would you pay them? Paypal backed out of Russia, a year ago. https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/russia-ukraine-latest-news-2022-03-04/card/paypal-suspends-operations-in-russia-6KSnhALVjRYwU0aTApFY

    Was it common to see different "fonts", among serial number locations?

    Middle aged Kel-Tec P32 weird extraction problem.

    Sounds like the extractor is doing it's job. I don't have a P32, but on the P3AT, the ejector is a 'loose bit' that can drop out of the frame, as soon as the slide is removed. Any chance the ejector is missing or otherwise un-right?

    Recovered Stolen Firearm.

    Made a few clarifications, to your narrative. Excellent example of how "stuff happens." For the skeptics, entries to NCIC (not 'NICS, of purchasing background checks) are more or less a manual action, whether it's listing a vehicle or firearm as stolen, or a warrant for arrest. Generally...

    What’s the limiting factor of 45acp?

    Because if you commercially produce and market something outside of SAAMI specs, and a mishap occurs, the lawyers will eat your lunch. That's why. CIP applies in Europe.

    So what? Caveat still stands! 😄

    Recovered Stolen Firearm.

    AFAIK, FFLs do not (or are not required to, by ATF) run firearms for status as stolen/not listed stolen. If anyone knows for certain, please comment. From prior LE experience, I would strongly advise you to ensure your pistol has been cleared from "stolen weapon status". I've made several...

    What’s the limiting factor of 45acp?

    The one word answer is "SAAMI". The reason takes more words, but worth learning. Same applies to other cartridges like .38 Special.

    45 ACP Short Barrel

    That conflicts with your expansion and gel performance requirement--unless you want thru & thru, out the back o' the block, and zero expansion. 😆

    45 ACP Short Barrel

    The Federal HST1 +P is rated at 950 fps; the standard HST2 is 890 fps. Sixty fps, it's not a "smokin' hot +P" :D I've been shooting both versions out of S&W 4513TSW and Shorty 45, and don't really notice much difference in recoil. For me, the +P will probably be the better carry...

    45 ACP Short Barrel

    There's a few Youtubes where guys gel tested the Gold Dot and HST 230's, standard & +P versions, out of 3"-ish barrels. All looked Ok, as far as "gel performance", and give a better-built round for carry.

    What's the hottest 9x19 +p factory load available?

    Yeah I recall your unfavorable experience with 5906 ;) ...but it probably would have held up ok. Illinois SP used +P+ Winchester and 9BPLE for years (decades?) in alloy frame S&Ws, some giving reported round counts over 20K. Just needed periodic recoil spring replacement.

    What's the hottest 9x19 +p factory load available?

    Ahh...dusty cobwebbed memories--was that the"TZZ" stuff??

    Check CMP Garand forums.

    What's the hottest 9x19 +p factory load available?

    Atomic has a pretty scarey rep-for doing "atomic" disassembly of a bunch of Garands, years ago.
