First pistol I ever bought myself was a p89 stainless. I sold it to fund my divorce and missed it ever since. So later on I bought myself another p89 in stainless, a p944 special edition in plum blue, and a p95.

Got one for Xmas a few years ago. I can ring steel at 97 yards (silhouette target) and it's never malfunctioned on me (I had some ammo that sure did though) and it's my current daily carry. The grip isn't my favorite, but it does work just fine.

Excited, no. Interested, yes. Welding shade, front porch. Showed the boy, who's closing in on 4. Then went about my day off. I feel no need to lessen anyone else's experience or demean them for enjoying it.

Many Swedes are capable of nice groups with the proper loading. With old irons, I'd say that's still just fine

I have a threaded 22/45, so the new one isn't a "gotta have" for me. Now the suppressor on the other hand....

Got a PC9 on layaway. has a simmons 4 power on it that'll go away IMMEDIATELY. But... it's in nice shape, comes with 6 mags, NONE of which are factory, so they might goi away too, lol. Now...... I gotta have a ruger 1911, sr556 AND NOW a takedown 10/22. Ah, the list is neverending.

Not on the list: STI.

have you pulled the firing pin for inspection (of the pin and the firing pin channel)? The firing pin should not protrude from the breech face like in your picture. should look like this:

I'm not looking for a tiny 9mm, so I wasn't terribly excited. All the hype, I thought for sure we were going to see the ruger 1911.

I have an STI spartan. it's their cheapest, and it's still FANTASTIC.

valve Spring seat from a toyota 4age. Have yet to test fire and check barrel stability.

Oh I'm sure my first try will be a dissapointment. lol

The solution was laughable (but worked, pure luck) and now I just need a test fire.

where's the beating the dead horse emoticon?

I think it needs some wood. :)
