Why should you hate to do this? That was very good and pertinent reading. And, said very gently what many are probably thinking "what the hell is this guy doing??"

And the best part, he mentions being taught by Bob Rodgers. September can't come soon enough.

It is a good thread. I didn't want to revert back to the "Big Forum".

Lane, what frame and slide are you going to pick out?

I'm not sure yet - I really like the commander size for daily carry, and would like this to be a EDC gun. But, I'd also really like a nice custom full size. Dunno.

[GoldenVolt]

Lane, I'm not trying to persuade you on anything. If it was my first build from the ground up, it'd be a full size.

I'm only 5'6", do you think I could fit in your suitcase?

I know you couldn't do it in class, but have you seen the Damascus slide?



I like it.

I'm gonna need more luggage - do you have any idea how many people I'm smuggling? Seriously, I'm very fortunate.

Quite honestly, I don't know what choices we have - Bob does get the frames and slides from Caspian. I wonder if Damascus slides are more difficult to work with - isn't Damascus steel extremely hard?

BTW - I just checked, and the over travel screw was out almost to the point of falling out. I set it per the instructions mentioned above. We'll give 'er a try tomorrow. Trust me, no more 'n two at a time in the mag - can't make holsters with my face shot off.

The winning answer? Overtravel screw.

100 flawless rounds at the range today - first few were the worst I've ever shot, flinching all over the place.

Also, now that I'm past that, I have to declare victory with the barrel bushing - accuracy and consistency with this gun are much improved.

Now, to finish checkering the front strap - oh, and a couple of holsters.

Thanks again to all those who've offered up suggestions. It's nice to be able to ask a question and not be reminded how stupid you are (I've got kids for that).

That is great news.....and you (and I) even learned something.

[GoldenVolt]

Lane,

Glad to hear it's working flawlessly. Didn't you adjust the sear spring? How do you know it wasn't the spring too?

That slide is $800 all by it's lonesome. I guess it's something to dream about.

Instead of smuggling people in you could do a blog. Just a thought.
