			<link>http://idpaforum.yuku.com/topic/5516/t/Springer-Powder-River-Trigger-Kit-Question.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ I have good things about Springer Precision and Powder River&#39;s trigger kits for Springfield XD. I need a little insight from someone smarter than me.
Springer&#39;s trigger kit replaces the sear and the trigger bar and springs. Powder River&#39;s trigger kit replaces the striker safety lever, springs and
adds an over travel stop. I don&#39;t know a lot about the inner workings of a semi-automatic pistol but it seems each company accomplishes the same goal using
completly different parts.... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Hey There! After ruining yet another 1911 frame on a DYI project (Thankfully Foster&#39;s frames are less than 100 bucks!) I just needed to share my very
humbling experince with this whole notion of doing anything 1911 related yourself. The bottom line is unless you have a full service machine shop, a plethora
of unique and custom tools and most importantly someone who knows that &quot;art&quot; behind 1911 gunsmithing standing beside you to hold your hand: don&#39;t

			<description><![CDATA[ Hey everyone.
<br>
<br>
The other day I was at the range and my G17 began having troubles. After the last shot and with an empty mag the slide would not lock back. I was thinking it
must be a mag problem but after 4 mags all had the same problem, I&#39;m thinking not. I was using new ammo- Winchester win-clean BEB 115gr. So, I tried
standard winchester and same problem. In frustration I put down my G17, picked up my G23, and had the same problem! With 2 different kinds of ammo. So....what

			<description><![CDATA[ How do you take the ejector out of a 1911?  I am rebuilding an Officer model series 80 and I&#39;m replacing all the pins and springs, safeties, trigger,
sights, grips.  It would have been cheaper to buy a new Springfield, but this way I get a project that I&#39;ll enjoy and a gun.  Later I think I&#39;ll also
build a Commander slide to inter-change with the Officer frame.

I was also wondering if anyone has tried the Brownells Baking Lacquer(#083-046-801DC)?  It looks like a good... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I was checking out an old post from Ted and decieded to do my own sequel. So as a proud new glock 17 owner, I was wondering if any of you had suggestions on
what one should include in an emergency repair kit for Glock owners. I was actually pretty surprised that there isn&#39;t anything pre-packaged on the market.
So far I have purchased a bunch of extra mags, a couple of the disassembly tool, and a couple extra springs. What else for a basic repair kit?

While it wouldn't be legal in SSP it would be in ESP and CDP. This is a STI grip he just did for me. If you are thinking about getting it done you should give him at call before you spend any money. He does excellent work.<!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h198/BobHostetter/100_0892.jpg"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><div... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ New, out of the box, Ruger looks like the barrel is not threaded into the frame properly.  At sight-in I had to move the rear sight WAY to the right. Upon further inspection I noticed the barrel and receiver don't line up correctly.  Looks like the barrel needs to be turned clockwise a few millimeters.   I bought the revolver from my local gun club that has an FFL not a retail shop.  So I assume I can't take it back to place of purchase. <br><br>I have never dealt with Ruger so my questions:... ]]></description>

I sent it back to Para, they replaced the extractor (one of those fancy-pants springloaded PXT things), and it seemed to work perfectly....<br><br>Except when I tried shooting anything in a brass case... it consumes CCI Blazer passionately without trouble, but brass cased things like reloads choke it way too often to use it in a match.

The long DA trigger pull and reset took me a while to get used to, but I still would like to improve some of the trigger characteristics; especially, after reading some articles on E.

			<description><![CDATA[ Im considering having the cylinder on my S&amp;W Model 586 chamfered for faster reloads.  I recognize this is common practice for IDPA guns.  My question is, Does the chamfer cause any issues with cartridge case bulging (like a stock Glock with the reduced case support) or any other case problems?  Ill only be shooting .38 caliber factory ammo or reloads designed to meet PF, no .357 Magnum, in the gun.<br><br>TIA,<br>Matt<br> ]]></description>
