sheepdog

...yeah, but you chop the barrels...only man I know with an 1 7/8" barrelled 1911...

Machinist

Depends on how badly you needed the gun when it fails.

sheepdog

...OK, YODA...

Bountyhunter

So I can keep it in my sock.

Machinist

No room for a recoil spring. He wraps rubber bands between the back of the slide and the front of the trigger guard.

He calls it the" Trojan".

Machinist

Ya, but we heard where you keep that sock.

sheepdog

...ribbed???

Machinist

You'll have to ask him.

stress and peening issues is something i have been following with the ruger sr9 series........

i really like the feel of that weapon and its features....but have read reports of slide/barrel peen issues.....hopefully they have it worked out. i even emailed ruger and talked to the head man about it.

Wow, good info. I don't top off my magazines, even six round officer's mags. I don't know why, been doing it that way for years. I do occasionally rotate rounds through the magazine, so the same round doesn't go through too many loading cycles. I have seen coal shorten from repeated unloading and loading.

I number my mags and I rotate them every month . Even number on even months and every 3 or 4 months I put fresh ammo in mags and gun and shoot the old ammo at the next time I shoot my gun .
