I'm pretty sure that the issue is without a magazine in place, dry firing will cause the firing pin to hit the "flag" of the magazine disconnect. Either or both parts might deform which could result in failure to fire stoppages. Regards, Greg

I removed Colt factory bushings that were staked using a bushing driver bit from Brownells. I always hit the bushing with some heat on the chance there is some thread locker present. When using the driver, I clamp my frame to the work bench, apply pressure on the bit driver handle to hold the...

I also like the Compacs, but wanted wood; so I tried to mimic the Compacs by removing some material from a set of smooth Herrett"s Shooting Stars. Regards, Greg

Darn nice photography wagsfn

My experience with the LCP II .22 mirrors yours :) I've about 300 rounds (Federal field pack and Blazer) through mine with only only one stoppage. That was a failure to fire on the last magazine during my last range trip. I believe it to be ammo related as the round had a decent hit on it...

My experience with P90 and P345 magazines mirrors stchman's "The mags are completely interchangeable". \ I only run the mags with plastic followers in my P90 because the metal follower can gouge the the P90 frame. I've not seen this happen with the plastic P345 frame, but I mostly run the...

Very nice!

Hey there, The .45 ACP cylinder arrived today, thank you for shipping so quickly! Perfect fit in my Vaquero :) A pleasure doing this deal with you jussbad. Regards, Greg

I'll take the .45 ACP cylinder. PM to follow Regards, Greg

I'd say it is normal as it's there on both P345 slides I have. My guess is that it's there to prevent the slide from hanging up on the magazine. Regards, Greg

That's it. Without a magazine in place, dry firing would result in the firing pin hitting the "flag" of the magazine disconnect. Either or both parts could deform because of this. This could result in there not being enough clearance when a magazine was in place (lifting the disconnect above the...

Thanks for the chuckle Bob :) Regards, Greg

Yep, Uncle Mike's :) The sights are Meprolight Tru-Dot ML-10991 Regards, Greg
