Nice collection!

Really nice Merkel.

Welcome

In L

Grinding down the screw a little fixed the issues. Ran a bunch of mags through he G48 today and not one FTE.

I made it back out to do some longer range shooting today. Started at 50 yards and had no problems hitting the 8" gong. I then moved back to 81 yards. After I tweaked the zero on the Holosun I had no problem hitting the gong. I think this is going to be a great hunting handgun.

I was looking at a BLR in .358 the other day. That is one caliber I do not have. This "I must have all the calibers" sickness is a real pain in the a$$.

I like that slide. The texture on the slide looks like there are no sharp edges and would be slick, How does it feel when racking the slide?

Thanks. That is a great deal and they will be here tomorrow.

Sounds like my kind of trip. Stack em deep!

They just changed the rules on the hunting/fishing licenses. Now they are good for 12 months from whenever you buy them.

Nope you are not. It really is not that big of a deal. You still have to buy it each year. I guess a lot people were complaining that they would buy a license and not get to use it for a whole year. In reality it is just perception, you are not saving any money.

what are you referring to about the delay?

It is a rolling year now. Good for 12 months from purchase. I have mine set to auto renew through the TWRA App. Makes it easy so I do not have to remember.

Thanks. The Dremel with a grinding stone took care of that yesterday. I just need to get back to the range and verify if this fixed the issue.

Shield mags but not the shield mag catch.

I was finally able to get some range time this weekend with pistol. I started off with the 9mm barrel to get the Holosun sighted in. This gun is on the heavier side and with the 9mm there was hardly any recoil. It was a pleasure to shoot. The only issue I was having was FTF. I had several in the first two mags I ran. So i decided to switch magazines. That is when I realized I was using the 7.5 magazine and not the 9mm magazine. Once I started to use the correct magazine I had no issues. Got the holosun sighted in and then switched the barrel and spring over to 7.5FK. I now see why the gun has some weight to it. The 7.5 round is stout. Not as bad as 44 mag but close. Even so the ergonomics of this gun made it very easy to control. Had tp adjust the zero a little on the holosun and then moved the target out to 15 yards. Unfortunately that was the furthest I could shoot yesterday. Here is my first 10 rounds I shot offhand at 15 yards. 8 out of 10 rounds in the 10 ring. Not to bad for these old eyes. I now need to get it outside and shoot some steel plates at 50, 75 and 100 yards to see what it can really do.

So I finally had some time to go to the range this weekend. I needed to sight in the Holosun on my G48. This is the first time I have shot this gun since I bought it. Right off the bat I started having extraction problems. I would have 3-5 failure to extract per magazine. Only had one brand of 9mm with me but did try several different magazines but nothing helped. I was able to shoot it enough to get the Holosun zeroed. Now I just have to figure out the extraction issue before I carry it. So I get home and take slide off. I start inspecting the extractor to see if it is chipped or broken. As I am rubbing it with my finger I notice it is loose. I can move it. Stripped my other G48 to compare it to and as expected the extractor is nice and tight. So time to completely disassemble the slide. Pull the back plate off and take out the firing pin. Start to pull the extractor rod out but it will not come out. The spring pulls off the end of the rod and just the nipple the spring attaches to is sticking out of the channel. Gently grip it with needle nose pliers but it will not come out. As I am sitting there staring at it I realize that the right screw for the Holosun is directly over this channel. I back the screw out a couple of turns and the rods falls right out like it is supposed to. So it looks like the screw was not allowing the extractor to move freely. I checked and I did not have any shorter screws. So I got my dremel out and very carefully started grinding down the screw. Now the screw is in nice and tight and does not effect the movement of the extractor. Hopefully this fixes my problem. Now I just have to get back to the range and shoot it some more.

It is kinda fugly.

Refinishing it will hurt the value and collectibility of it. I vote do not refinish it.

Anybody know what this is or what furniture was used? A buddy saw it on Pinterest and was wondering what it is.

You can dish it out but can’t take it. Not really surprising.

What Fuji said. Don’t let the word Safari confuse you. Most of the work SCI does to protect hunting rights is based in the US.
