Here's a Navy study on the matter http://www-nehc.med.navy.mil/downloads/ih/tm6290.99-10Rev1.pdf . Haven't fully read it yet, but it seems like a good source.

Yeah but the people who assemble the thing wrong more than likely won't be around anymore anyway. Many of those "don'ts" would eliminate them anyway... eventually.

Glad you took control of the font Hogman!

EFK makes the best for the money IMO. KKM also makes them, I'm told. Barsto had issues and quite making them all together. Evidently the problems were so pervasive the have a bunch in stock but won't sell them.

I would love to see something along the lines of http://frag.110mb.com/ this for the 357 SIG. I thinking of getting a SIG barrel for my new FN Hi-Power .40. There just isn't much updated info out there, especially for the newer bullets.

Why not use the Federal HST's or Winchester Ranger's. ammunitiontogo.com has them fairly cheap in .357 SIG. Both are much better update to Gold Dot's.

Evidently you haven't been there in a while. No mattresses, or fans. While not the nicest place in the world it has central air filtration and the people are some of the best.

I use my XD9 for carry and the trigger job is 4 lbs. Not a problem in my mind. I believe Springer will reduce it to 2.5 lbs, but only for competition use.

The guy who started SKYY was from Kel-Tec. He got in trouble posting phony reviews as if he was a customer on Kel-Tec boards. Plus there is a lot of problems reported on the skyy forum about these guns. Maybe that it is just initial production problems, but I've heard the steel is soft. I'd go with the Kel-Tec.

This reminds me of the Dale Earnhardt glock from a while back!

That's the only limit. It may even be possible to make it better - more personalized. I would think.

On xdtalk.com there was a thread that had pictures of the internal work done by springer. You can probably search over there. As far as feel, early reviews were that it was not as great using the parts due to the fact that it was not hand fit. The small differences in tolerances of the guns made them a little different. Still makes it a great trigger though.

Not SA, Springer Precision. It was like $90 if i remember right, but that was when he was modifying the parts. The new system uses the parts you installed.

I did it the old fashioned way and sent into Springer. Had it back in hand one day after shipping! 4lbs. great reset and take-up......You will love it!

Actually it was. I found a FN HP 40 for $439. After all the transfer and such it will be about $480.

Decided to go against the grain and get the .40 S&W Hi-Power. Especially after reading some info from Bill Laughridge at C&S. With the .40 platform I can always switch out barrels and go between .357 SIG, 9mm, or .40 S&W all while maintaining the Hi-Power greatness. Here is what $4000 and C&S can do with a .40 Hi-Power. and the article is here http://www.cylinder-slide.com/loaded.shtml, enjoy!

Can't wait to get one myself. I want one with the rail....just in case I need it. Looks good!

He's got one he's trying to sale!

a long shot, but say it turns up in an unfortunate situation. They start tracing it back. sooner or later it will come to you then you got Feds involved. Unlikely, but not worth my time IMO.

I've got about $500 burning a hole in my pocket and am indecisive. I've got a couple of options and I need you help to decide. Which one should I get. My first handgun was a PJK-9HP (Hi-power clone) that I loved, but I've always wanted a 1911. I'll probably end up with both, but it may take a while. Help! BTW -I understand that I sound like a woman trying to decide between shoes (drives me crazy!), so I apologize in advance? HEHE

You do not want to mess with interstate commerce infractions. Those are federal violations!

It does seem that the 2 digit numbers are short action guns, in whatever config denoted by the rest of the number, and the 3 digit are the long action.

For a bunch of free capitalist (I assume from other tendencies here....) it seems we don't like it very much for gun stores. As a person involved in a growing downtown business, I routinely run off the bums who come through the door wanting a handout (mainly those are homeless panhandlers). I wouldn't blame dealers for doing the same. Give the dealers their due and complain more about the US Gestapo (IRS) :popcorn:who take, illegally I might add, all your money anyway. Then you wouldn't mind paying the minimal fee.

Sounds like typical conservative, right wing voodoo economics talking points right there! How can such poor, underpaid US workers save any income with the price of health care and the national debt! This is just crazy talk!

Very similar, except there isn't a viable government that wants or can take control like in the U.S. Not a statement of right or wrong, just not apples to apples.
