The CZickness IX Intervention

[churchmouse]

Looking outside knowing I will be out there most of the late morning early afternoon and making faces.
I did not beat the weather.

Morning folks!

Busy day today, but I think that there's time for pancakes first. The wife is hoping that we can finish the upstairs hallway today. It needs a layer of subflooring stripped, prepped and then hardwood flooring put down. Normally, it's easily a one day job, but I tend to be easily distracted. I also need to load some more .40 today. I've burned through my nomal loaded ammo stash in .40 testing the P07 and have more testing to do. If things work out well with the new mag, I'm going to try to run the lighter hammer spring again to see if that runs. At that point, if all is working well, I'm calling that done and just leaving the gun as is. It has the SRS, lightened springs elsewhere and .220 roller and feels good with the lighter hammer spring. Heck, it feels good as it is right now, but just a bit heavier in DA than I like.

This has been a serious journey with that gun.

Crazy battery in the smoke detector decided to die at 4:30 am and the furnace stopped working with an error code. Got them both fixed for now but I hope the rest of the day is missing this excitement.

It can be very frustrating when you get one that just doesn't want to play along.

The % of spec variance between production run firearms can be wide and sometimes cause issues when we want to modify them.

Mmmmm.... I think breakfast number 3 today is going to be blueberry pancakes...

Ft.Wayne and Lafayette both have shows this weekend.
Yes and yes.
What you do with your breakfast foods in the privacy of your own home is none of my business.
...and a surly good morning to you, sir.

I'd say I've only had one major turd in my time. That was the Ruger CMD mouse now has. Would not run for crap when new.

My pistol kit is in Indy, someone wanna go pick that up for me?

The only remaining parts on that one from your ownership is the slide/frame/possibly the trigger.

I wish that one would have worked out better for me. I wanted to like it, but just didn't. Certainly is a unique piece.

It is now.....

I liked the slab side look you gave it. That was the selling point for me.
**** a load of roll marks....Ugh

Always nice when my efforts of taking a brand new gun to a grinder are appreciated.

This has been a challenge. The only gun that rivals this one for difficulties was my PPK/S. That one took a bit of work to get it to feed properly and had almost 500 rounds down the pipe before I'd trust it. This one is heading towards 600 and still has the occasional FTF. I'm planning on running a fast 100 rounds through the new mag with fully loaded mags to see if the fresh mag springs make the final difference. I'm really hoping they do. I had a G19 that would not feed 3 consecutive rounds when new, but once north of the 150 round mark, it was perfect. My 40P had issues that took about 250 rounds to diagnose, but has been perfect through hundreds of rounds after the new guide rod was installed. This gun should be fundamentally sound and I'm sure that the issues are related to spring rates. It's just a PITA because there is still not much aftermarket support for these pistols.
