Some times it just takes a little more effort. Welcome aboard.

Are you doing this with an empty mag in the gun? Mine will stay open with a mag but not without a mag.

If you look at the old spring you will see the end that goes on first is flat and the new spring isn't. Just flatten the new spring the same as the old and it will work fine. I have the 20# on mine and see no difference in recoil, would like to see if you see any with the 22.

I have used both, do not see much difference between them. As for Tula being dirtier, it may be a little, but not enough to worry about.

dond, feed it anything you can find, it will eat it all. I have used Silver Bear and Brown Bear, Tula in both FMJ and JHP and have had no problems. As soon as I can afford to get the dies, I will start reloading.

All I can say is AWESOME!!!!!!

Mine is also a 1968 and in near perfect shape and has given me no trouble at all. Just shoot the devil out of it and enjoy.

I installed the 18# hammer spring and the 20# recoil. If I had it to do over I would have saved the money on the recoil and I would have gotten the 17# hammer. I see little if any change in the recoil with the heavier spring, as for the DA it is a lot better with the 18# and I believe it would be ev...

Looking good, look in the next county for your empties.

Thanks for clearing that up. I use the Silver Bear in my P 64, I guess I never looked that close.

How on earth could Wolf and Silver Bear ammo make sparks in there baffles? The bullet is lead with a brass jacket if I remember correctly, only the case is steel. I still think they are just trying to sell you ammo and a high price.

Ones you get to the range you will really like this little jem. Take plenty ammo because you will want to keep shooting.

That is good no matter how you look at it.
