Band sewn in the mouth of the so it won’t close up upon drawing the gun. Now I just need my gun back so I can play a little bit!

I have a Springfield G.I. 1911 and it is fun to shoot--except when it fails to eject. Probably an extractor issue--not sure. I guess I could take it to a gunsmith...oh....wait....

Never had a malfunction of any kind with my Glock 26 or my Glock 30 SF.

This would then require one first cock the trigger and second release the safety before being able to fire the weapon. In the moment of adrenaline it seems the chance is good one might fire a round before one intended to. That extra step could also be the difference in being shot before one got off a round.

Doesn't using a weapon successfully in self defense require a certain amount of trained motor skills? It is one reason I shoot my carry weapon far more than I do my other weapons.

I took it strait to my gun smith and he is doing some polishing and tuning to it. Whenever I get her back I will go put a good 500 rounds and some defensive rounds through it to break it in and insure it’s reliable. Boy do I have some training to do with that gun. I am having to learn the manual safety. I’ve grown up on revolvers and Glocks so I’m at a bit of a learning curve. But I’m excited. I have some elk antler grips and a milt sparks VM2 coming. All should be in this week. Here is a picture of the gun stock. I will post one later this week on how she ran and what she looks like with the new grips.
