Safety Reminder for Buyers and Sellers This is an automatic reply meant to protect you as a buyer and a seller on TGO. Use the Buyer/Seller Feedback feature to research who you are dealing with. Please come back and leave feedback for each other after the transaction is complete. Your experience will help others. Never agree to use an electronic form of payment to buy or sell a gun! None of the electronic payment services will protect you against fraud in a firearms transaction. They all have terms of service FORBIDDING the use of their services to buy/sell guns. DON'T DO IT. Be very wary of anyone who insists on brokering a deal in private or outside of TGO. Scammers almost always prefer to operate out of the public eye.

Same here. And we've also had a glass top stove for years, works fine. Just don't drop them on it.

It takes the mother, father, and the rest of the village. There are many factors involved. I've also seen this in the news. Maybe not the 6pm TV news, but I haven't watched that in a couple decades.

They may not affect reliability but they are more fragile. I figured that was BS until I broke one years ago.

They aint cheap but I love my sordin pro-x neckband muffs. Hearing protection is one of those things that I feel if you skimp out on could cost you permanent damage in the long run. have also had decent luck doubling up with howard leight impact sports with foam plugs underneath.

wmailhos replied to gammon's topic in Firearms Classifieds
i agree also. i quit doing anything on armslist because i had several VERY questionable individuals try to purchase guns from me. i was glad i was in a public place during the day and was glad they didn't get confrontational when i refused to sell to them. i think this is the best place to buy and trade guns but we have to be vigilant that the sketchy folks don't try to mess it up. -
As you noted on a previous response, the 1911 can only drop fire if its dropped in a very specific way. They can only inertia fire if dropped directly on the muzzle, in these cases, the steel firing pin can have enough momentum to overcome the spring tension holding the firing pin in place, but that can't happen if dropped in any other way, just based on simple physics. And the reality of you dropping your gun in that specific of a manner means that, while it would be an AD, your gun is pointed in a safe direction (the ground) and that could really only happen of you dropped it while holstering. While unlikely, as you note, there are several ways to mitigate it. A heavier firing pin spring is one, but that can compromise ignition reliability, so you would want to pair that with an increases power main spring (which in turn would help reduce recoil). However, if you don't want to "tune" your 1911, a titanium firing pin solves the problem and has virtually no effect on the reliability. It is a drop in part for like $20-30.
