Re: Help... My Slide Won't Come Off!

i just installed an 18-lb mainspring and a 22-lb recoil spring (Wolff). I bought 2 recoil springs, a 20-lb and a 22-lb. Strangely, the 22-lb is finished, but the 20-lb is not and they are both Wolff springs! I had been having a hard time assembling/disassembling with the stock springs, too. Yes, it ...

Re: Question about Recoil Springs

i just installed an 18-lb mainspring and a 22-lb recoil spring (Wolff). The new mainspring lightens the DA pull until it is usable, but i wish I had ordered the 17-lb. SA pull is very light now, but I like it that way.
I haven't noticed any difference in recoil with a 22-lb recoil spring though.

Re: DeSantis Nemesis holster

Mattswab, I think they are saying the gun may fall out of the holster, not that the holster will come out of your waistband.
(What model holster is that -- I'm looking for one for my pocket?)

Re: Classic Arms - Kudos!

Thanks for all the advice. I never had them beyond what I would call snug, but I have now backed them off enough to allow the mags to move freely (they'll now drop out when empty and released). The screw appears to penetrate the nut about right, so if I have any issues I guess I'll use a mild Loctit...

Re: Classic Arms - Kudos!

OK, they act normal with the grips off or even loosened. So should I go easy on the grip screws, or do something else? It doesn't seem right not to at least "snug" the screw up.

Re: Classic Arms - Kudos!

Apology in advance if this is in the wrong place. I didn't mean the springs are tight (although they may be) -- I meant the mags are tight going into and coming out of the mag well. One of them is 0.464" wide, the other is 0.468" wide. The former inserts and removes much more easily than t...

Re: Classic Arms - Kudos!

I just got my handpick P-64 from them today (Wednesday ordered last Friday.) First purchase from them but won't be the last! I am a noob, but except for some VERY light scuffs on the right grip I can't tell it from a new one. The mags are pretty tight though -- is this normal? I mean I need to (care...
