    Wondering what I got

    Hapidogbreath, congrats on your Luger. For disassembly, best to use a Luger takedown tool, or “loading tool” from Sarco for $8.45. The tool has a flat-head screwdriver on one end that fits the grip screws and the rear of the breechblock, and a hook or spade on the other that gives your thumb...

    Picked up my first Luger today

    Dropyourweapon, I had another look at my own Luger (9mm) and consulted some books (Gortz & Sturgess’ The Borchardt & Luger Automatic Pistols, and Randall Gibson’s The Krieghoff Parabellum) and, based only on your 7 photos, I can amend and expand my earlier review of your Luger. Remember, I’m...

    10mm Bushing Fit Questions

    harrygunner you are a pioneer of the 10mm solving these problems 10 years ago! When I floated my build plans in my siiick firearms thread, I was being provocative to stimulate responses in case my critical assumptions were in any way questionable. I got back very little information but some...

    10mm Bushing Fit Questions

    Harrygunner and edwardware, thank you so much! I guess soon 10mm parts will become more ubiquitous but for now, it reminds me of when I built my first 9mm and had to adapt 45 parts and make yer own to suit! So EGW it is.

    Picked up my first Luger today

    DropYourWeapon, I agree with 243winxb and I’m happy to hear you’re on deck at Jan Still’s Luger Forum. They will certainly want more pictures, such as the cannon, especially the barrel lump, the frame under the grips, the muzzle band and sight, small parts such as extractor, all the inside...

    10mm Bushing Fit Questions

    Hi Gang, Parts are dribbling in for my twin 10mm commanders project. I have some questions about my Colt stainless match barrel; to wit, the barrel shaft O.D. is 0.540 until about the last 0.562 toward the muzzle where it gently swells to 0.550. Being new to the 10mm I’m not sure what to make...

    Your oldest automatic?

    My oldest is this P08 made by DWM for the Imperial Reichswehr in 1917. It was demobilized, scrubbed of most of its numbers, and rebarreled in 30 Luger in 1921. It has blood pitting under the grips from the Weimar years, and was reblued, rebarreled, and reworked by Krieghoff for the Luftwaffe...

    The Dreaded HK Trigger Groove

    I've configured the grips on my VP9 Tactical after the "wundhammer swell" you used to see on Olympic pistols; my hands are small and meaty and I selected the small backstrap, large right panel, and small left panel and that feels about right. No trigger finger issues ever, tho. When I train...

    What's the cheapest way to get/build a complete 1911 frame?

    I confess I know notheeng, notheeng about 22 conversions, but I can tell you about frames and frame parts. RIA-anything is a first-rate choice, but not very commonly available (try Palmetto State Armory from time to time, and Sarco). I mostly like the Caspian factory second brand, called...

    They don't have a siiick firearms thread so l volunteer. . .

    That's a heck of a good idea, 460Shooter, and I've got a few months to embezzle the additional project funds from the family budget. I've no experience with chronographs; always considered them as extra buttons 'n bows on a work shirt, but in this case why not? I wonder if the energy spent...

    They don't have a siiick firearms thread so l volunteer. . .

    "something wrong" isn't what I had in mind; try awful wrong, 'way wrong, just plain wrong, and Wrong Wrong Wrong!!! I've read mixed opinions on this forum and elsewhere about the Delta Elite (congratulations, by the way, one of my bucket guns) but other than back and forth no real strong...

    Hi Forum, First post. I'm building two 1911 commanders, both 10mm. The sick one has an aluminum frame with barrel extension just because... Both are evil looking in phosphate/dull black hard-anodizing, but the nice twin also has an elegant damascus slide, and the evil one has a beefy slide...
