AllenM, Thank you for posting the video! My question for the creators of that system is what problem does it solve? Standard 1911 cocked and locked - thumb safety gets bumped off and you have a hammer waiting to go when the GS and trigger are pressed. Devise installed 1911 - thumb safety gets...
Kirk - they would not impact any of those crimes, nor the overwhelming majority of the gun crimes seen nationally. Jason Dombkowski says that he is not a politician, but any of us, like you, who have been around for as long as we have know better. One does not go from patrolman to lieutenant to...
I try to stay out of some of the forum discussion on political candidates, but not when it comes to the 2nd Amendment. Full disclosure, I have known all three sheriff candidates for over 20-years.
Jason Dombkowski made a passionate statement during the debate about how he was a staunch...
Anti-seize is what I use AND no extreme torquing. Steel nut on threaded aluminum combined with a gorilla strength and no anti-seize is a recipe for disaster.
I thought I would share some of the frustration of getting new equipment... I purchased a new horizontal/vertical rotary table to make machining slides easier for RMR's and other red dots. I follow the manufacturer's directions and fill the unit will oil until I can see it in the oil level...

Bdydall,
Thank you for the kind words! I used an indexing head to cut the front strap checkering. I use this homemade fixture on the indexer to hold the frame. It works well, but not the best solution.
One of the best things going for me is a very good friend with 30-years of machinist...
Spook331945,
THank you for the kind words. I take care of everything I buy because I cannot afford to replace it. You are also correct that buying the mill is the easy part. I could spend 10x that price in tooling and probably still need more. :D
The fixture in the picture is an EGW "Gunsmith...
T.Lex, The good thing about the slide I had to "scrap" is I found a frame with measurements that will allow it to work. I will get to use that slide after all. One of the hardest lessons to accept it the growing scrap parts bin...
The end of 2017 and the beginning of 2018 has marked a new chapter for me. I have upgraded licensing and have taken a bit of time to really take a close look at what I thought were my "best practices". Closest thing I can relate the last few months to is a sabbatical of sorts. What I have...
