    Hi-power grips

    Range trip today. Left grip is too sharp and left my hand sore. I sandpapered it to my satisfaction and rubbed some oil on it to hide the scuffs. LOK says they use mineral oil at the factory but any kind will do. I do find the grips totally lock the gun in my hands— much more than the Pachmayr...

    Hi-power grips

    My new LOK grips came in today’s mail: That’s the dark red/black color combination. They almost look like a dark mahogany. They are very grippy—to the point I may touch them up with sandpaper. But first, a range trip is in order… to be continued.

    Vibrating case cleaner media.

    I’ve no doubt it will clean effectively. Be aware that DE is a lung irritant, so handle with care. Don’t breathe the dust—don’t stir up the dust.

    Hi-power grips

    Don’t like any grips with finger grooves. My fingers don’t ever fit them.

    Hate to beat a dead horse(another Servicios & Aventuras SPP post)

    The primer cup and pin is pressed in. I know because I have replaced a few over time. Lee used to sell them, may still. There’s no screw in part in that picture. Edit: I just checked Lee’s website and they no longer sell the priming pin, cup, and spring separately— only the complete priming...

    Hi-power grips

    My old Pachmayr Signature grips are wearing out quickly, and I can’t seem to find them available anywhere. I have/want the kind with the checkered front and back strap, not the finger groove model. And… I wouldn’t mind suggestions on your favorite source for Hi-power grips of any kind. I’m not...

    Have you purchased anything gun related in the last three days?

    Update! I am more than pleased! 8 days from my door to Novak’s and back to me is great. I think the upgrade was worth the expense (and I was apprehensive). The dovetails look really good, and it looks like Novak’s re-blued my entire slide— at least it seems that way. 2 minor points, I...

    I wish my local Academy had the same. :confused:

    Bore snake

    I don’t know if it makes a difference, but I always soak the “nose” of the bore snake with solvent, and the tail with some oil before I pull it through a pistol or rifle barrel. Seems to make the going easier and it may help clean the bore a little.

    Thoughts on a 9mm Rifle for plinking and range use please

    My 9mm Hipoint carbine with a cheap red dot optic is great! The stock sights— not so much. And… there are upgrades to make it into a more “normal” PCC. Think of getting a better (less abrasive) bolt handle, lose the iron sights entirely, red dot optic, 20rd mags that really work are...

    Have you purchased anything gun related in the last three days?

    Sent my BHP slide off to Novak’s for new sights. I’ve been wanting this for a long time! The front blade sight and tiny notch rear just don’t do it for me anymore.
