I was not joking. Oiling and racking might help. IMO the magazine springs also will soften a smidge if you keep them loaded up to max... a week or so.

Rack the empty slide 200 times ;)

That's the unknown part. For EDC, reliability is paramount. For range shooting... meah, not so much. Anywhoo, based on a explanation that @xdman provided on another thread, I saw that the XD or XD-M have a small rebound spring at the base of the striker channel. I thought that's a great idea...

Yeah, I forgot that to remove the slide of the Sig, I don't have to pull the trigger. So that's why it remains under tension and not rattling...

I didn't know that those have that. Thanks!

My Hellcat makes the same rattle. I thought it might be "normal", but the striker drag made me wonder if a stronger return spring wouldn't be needed. Also, what happens if the gun is dropped, while there is a chambered round? Then I bought a Sig 365XL. No rattle, the striker stays "hidden"...

Well... that's where I looked at when I said, on March 26, that "third-party barrel manufacturers cannot keep up with demand"

My local SA dealers get their fresh gun supply and sell them in the same day.

The tubes are probably identical. Maybe some difference in longevity, but geometry is easy to copy. The lost art is in the audio transformers. Hand made, core steel, coil layout (order, separation, pull tension), isolation, airgrap filler. Probably there is nobody alive in England that can do...

Nice going! Now you're more familiar with that gun!

That might work...

POS. I could not hit a target at 10 meters away. Probably could throw the gun and hit that target. I had experienced the Russian and Romanian ones and definitely the Russians were junk. Or maybe that's what we got shipped to us, client states, in purpose... IDK. We also were using WWII guns in...

"An east German conscript holds his AK47 in the snow." F**k that brings back bad memories for me. It's fun to look at those pictures, not fun to get awaken at 4AM by an alarm, and running outside, in cold winter clutching that stupidly cold mass of metal. Hitting each other with those lumps of...

That's what a spring does. The force of a linear (one stage) spring is inverse proportional with the compression length. Hooke's Law F=-kX I would try asking those people, they probably can make a sprig to order too: "Please contact Technical Support for suggestions for your particular pistol...

Remington doesn't have anything to sell to retail customers. "Check the distributors"... that's a sure receipt for price gouging. At least Federal trickles a bit of ammo on their website.

And that's the manufacturer's retail price.

This morning, on Federal, they finally had more that just one type. Limit two boxes of each type per order, once you get past $100 is free shipping.

Tumble?

How is that magnet working? I have the Viridian E-line red laser, but pressing that button gets me nervous. PS: I also have the P356XL with RomeoZero, for home, and that one has movement activation.

I just got the other day this "dry lubricant": https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008JH61JA I just used it on my cleaned pistol and I want to say I am impressed. Indeed it didn't leave any residue, but the slide inside is more... slippery.
