If I were you, I would be overjoyed that barrel has to be fitted. The fit from the factory on the stock barrels I've seen were terrible compared to what a competent gunsmith could do. I fitted Barsto barrels in both of mine; a 220 and a 226.

I saw on TV that the wife handed him a gun with no magazine. He left and came back to do the shooting.

The three revolvers I have will do that. Two S&W and one Ruger. In fact, all you have to do is to not let the trigger reset all the way. I can spin the cylinder at will and the hammer never moves. If you get in a hurry, it is easy to do and then you have a lost round.

It leaves no evidence whatsoever.

Think the lugs are designed to wedge together for the purpose of controlling end shake? Or maybe to control the height of barrel and slide lug engagement? To center the firing pin on the primer?

If you are talking about that Schwarzlose being a blow foward design, go to post 295, click on the www thing and read the description of that pistol and its' operation. Nothing mentioned about blow foward. If there is such a hand gun, could someone post a link, please?

www.guns.connect.fi/gow/QA17.html Check out the slide on that thing. Was the rotary bolt locked to the barrel during firing?

Correct me if I am wrong, Gentlemen. I am not a physics major. As an example, lets accelerate a 3.5 oz barrel to 32 ft/sec in 1/1000 sec. The force to do this will make the barrel seem to weigh 3,500 oz, or about 219 pounds. Double this to account for bullet drag. let's say 440 lbs of force...

I have some NATO and some Hirtenberger sub ammo. The NATO is hotter than run of the mill ammo. The Hirtenberger is really stepping along. I shoot it in a Sig 226 ST. No sign of damage. If I remember correctly, the foreign 9mm ammo is marked with a circle. If half the circle is blacked in, it is...

I appreciate you fellas taking the time to reply. Don't know which way to go. It's going to be a big hassle to find a bead blaster and the jelly may be the answer.

How would a fella go about getting this stuff off of a frame and slide? Any chemicals available that will strip it off and not destroy your last brain cell?

The Baer 10mm I have was shipped with an 18.5 pound spring and a shock buffer. I have added one of EGW's firing pin stops as well as a full length guide rod. This works well for the lighter range loads. With Double Tap I step up to a 20 pound spring. This Baer is not carried, so the shock buffer...

The go gauge tells you if the firearm is safe to fire with the longest in spec ammo. You will not crush the case, in other words. The no go gauge tells you if the firearm is safe to fire with the shortest in spec ammo. The case will not back out of the chamber far enough to blow out. There are...

No offense, Blue Bottle Fly.

Therapy. It is one of the fastest and longest lasting rehabilitation programs I know of.

Just a WAG. Sounds like something is keeping that pistol from going completely into battery. I would find the problem before firing anymore. I would look at the bushing/barrel fit first and check for barrel springing. Best advice is to wait for Tuner to reply.

A packing puller (looks like a small cork screw) may be worth a try.

Wil Schuemann makes gain twist barrels (the AET)for the 1911. His site has information on several things of interest to shooters.

The 1911 is single action only. The Sig 220 is double/single action along with other differences.

Could the recoil spring plug or a fired case also be used?
