Re: SA Pistol Trigger Pound Pull

I went to H&K and Sig websites and couldn't find any info on trigger pull pounds. Maybe one of the gun magazines will have info on this stuff?

Thanks,
Bill

Bill, You don't have a shock buffer installed in that pistol, do you?
No. Pistol is out of the box and worked fine until tried to shoot again this week after it had been inactive for several months.

Re: Ruger 1911 Commander .45 Problem

I admit this is a bit of a puzzling failure mode. My initial suspect for feed problems is always the magazine. Given none of the three magazines would feed, that would imply that all three magazines are failing; or, the magazines are not seated properly; or, the disconnector track is not stripping ...

Re: Ruger 1911 Commander .45 Problem

If this pistol will every be used for SD, you need to send it to Ruger or a competent Smith and quit trying speculating and trying to be a kitchen table smith. Yes, I'll ultimately send it to Ruger for evaluation and repair/adjustment. No...I'm not trying to solve a technical/mechanical problem via...

Ruger 1911 Commander .45 Problem

I have an almost new (less than 50 rounds fired) in my 1911. I hadn't fired it in around 9 months. Recently, with a round in tube, it fired but wouldn't load any more rounds. I checked magazine, and tried 2 other magazines, to no avail. Magazines seemed ok, as had been used successfully in past. Any...

New CHL Processing Backlog?

Does anyone know what the backlog is with DPS on processing applications? Also, the number of current CHL holders in Texas.

Thanks!

Re: Moving to Austin area

Hi everyone, I am possibly moving into the Austin area from out of state, and I am concerned about how I could store my firearms, ammo, and reloading components prior to moving into a new home. Most likely I would be in some sort of relo housing for a few months. Can anyone recommend facilities or ...
