    Front sight adjustment on luger P08?

    I finally got around to some careful bench shooting with my P08 and two different kinds of ammo, and concluded that the sights are off a bit. Using the standard sight picture (#1 at http://www.lonesentry.com/manuals/german-infantry-weapons/luger-pistol.html), the pattern is 1.5 degrees to the...

    Your most accurate handgun?

    I'm much more interested in real data than opinions and hearsay, "lay" or otherwise. I have no reason to believe the following from my Legend Target is any better or worse than average, and in fact statistically it's probably average, but it's a data point. Statistically speaking, the radial...

    Luger misfire, ideas?

    OK, here's what I did. 1) Assemble with side plate, but without the breechblock assembly. - Finger off trigger, push barrel forwards, then squeeze trigger. Sear bar spring is being worked as expected. - Pull barrel back, squeeze trigger all the way, then push barrel forwards...

    Removing recoil spring from guide, Sig P210

    I just picked up a P210 Legend, and poking around inside and trying to clean off all the oil and grease they packed it with, I see no obvious way to remove the recoil spring from the guide rod. Looks like maybe the end piece unsrews from the rod, but I don't want to muck with it unless I'm sure...

    Old eyes and handguns

    This must be a common problem. As I've gotten older, my near vision has gradually gone to hell, to the point that at an indoor range with low lighting, I can barely focus my eyes on the sights. If I try hard, I can do it for a little while and am accurate, but then my eyes get tired and my...
