They send the fun meter off the scale.....



CYA gun fool friends:


I carry on a ton about these pistols, and for good reason:


They send the fun meter off the scale.....

Anyway, the past couple of days I been altering my trigger hanger, and trigger linkage, for this new DiOrio V-3 firing pin spearment.


By the way, after last evening it's no longer just a spearment.......



So I got to looking at this trigger I built, sometime back, for my new MD-PAS triple pistol.


You know, I've taken this trigger for granted.......I'm so used to it now......the last thing on my mind last evening was this trigger.....it simply works.



Anyway, I got to looking at the third lever return spring, a new concept.


The thing should last forever....


Here's a picture of me measuring the length of the spring with the bolt open....


About .178" long in the relaxed state.......you can see that the bolt is open, if you look closely.

Now, here's a picture of the spring in the "fired" position.

About .200"......you can see that the bolt is closed.

CYA gun fool friends, this return spring only expands about .022" each cycle....which is mind blowing.


The little thing should last forever.




Now..............................



I've got some house work to do...


And I've got to do my weekly laundry........


And go to the drug store.....


And then this evening, if the world don't end, I'm going to get a box of every lot of the ammo that Robert Oates sent me last year........



And I'm going to the range and turn on the fun meter again......





Man if I could have had this thing back when I competed........man!
