First it is extremely stiff to open and close, but this is to be expected and will ease up after break in. Second, The trigger is very heavy. The internals had a lot...

    P320 Discharged in Transit Policeman’s Holster

    It says the officers heard a bang and smelled gunpowder, then they figured out that one of the guns had discharged. I can't imagine a gun going off in a holster I am wearing and not feeling when the gun fired. and maybe he did I just find it odd that that wasn't mentioned

    Using disposable gloves when firearm cleaning

    I wear the blue nitrile ones, for my hands and so once the gun is clean I am not getting the oil and sweat from my hands on the gun. I forgot to wear them when cutting some ghost peppers once, taking out my contacts that night felt like I got maced.

    Supporting your LGS in Illinois

    I do some gunsmithing and transfers as a side business. This new licensing bill will make it impossible for me to keep my FFL. Moving out of state is not an option as I have family and another full time business to run.

    5.0 gr unique in 45acp pressure

    I guess I could have went into the reason. I use that load in my 1911's with no problems. My father in Law has a 455 webley set up for moon clips and 45acp but from my reading they should stay under around 13,200PSI. I was pretty sure that those loads would qualify but just wanted to check...
