Santa arrived at the Igloo a little early. Stainless Steel spring and guide rod for G21.
In other news, Winter is back and beautiful:
And what is this?

Dunno. What do you want to know?
Lawyer, shooter, boater, aviator, etc.
Yes, I still do gun stuff when it is single digits outside.
But now I’m just playing.
Whaaa . . .?
Who, me?
Yes, it really is here.
And we’re all getting snowed in.
And . . .
It’s here.
Winter Is . . .
Getting very close.
Wait a minute.
Light primer strikes in a Glock 21? Not possible. Except the inner tubes say, “Yes!”.
Most likely cause? Dirty striker channel. Ok, let’s take a look:
Remove, clean, blow out channel.
Yes, swabbing out the channel with a q tip resulted in lots of “schmutz”, black gunk with some metal particles. Clearly enough to cause friction and slow up the striker.
I guess I’ll just have to head back to the range.
Oh, Frabjabulous Day!
Range day, of course. Yes, it was 27 degrees, an inch of snow and gusting from the northwest.
But, “When the going gets tough,
”The tough go shopping!”
So, I went to the range.
230 g. ball and 200 g. lead semi wadcutters. They rang steel.
However, the ball ammo I had reloaded in 2016 and I noticed some dimpled primers. Light strikes that I had put back.
Not to worry. The 1911 chewed up whatever the G21 choked on.
Got some cold soaked brass to clean now.
But hot .45 ACP brass is pretty easy to retrieve from the melted snow around it.
The Frost Is On The Pumpkin
I say again, “The Frost Is On The Pumpkin”.
Whaa?
Oh.
Please disregard.
The “Snow Is On The Pumpkin.” I say again, “The Snow Is On The Pumpkin.”
Turn Off Light. Now. Plzz.
The alternative being:
KatNap Fever!
