Just got a package in the mail. A pair of Recoil Spring Kits for both my 1911s. My stainless government is actually well overdue to be resprung, and I’m ashamed to say I could feel the slide reciprocating during my last range outing. I’ve only put around 1,000 rounds through my Commander, but I bought it used and was calling Brownells anyway, so I thought I’d get a kit for each.
Easy little chore, even with the firing pin block on the guns. Now they’re quite stiff. I’ll function test the both of them this weekend!
Now if you excuse me, I’m going to pour myself an adult beverage and go play Call of Duty! I’ve almost leveled up my Micro-Uzi!
Liberal Shill: OH NO! HE’S PRACTICING USING GUNS IN A VIDEO GAME THAT WILL MAKE HIM MORE VIOLENT! AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!
Have fun!
Caleb has a neat take and discussion on that:

But yeah for most of my life I’ve been consuming violent video games (as violent as killing the cannibals in Jungle Hunt, and eating the ghosts in Pac Man can be) Violent movies (I was just a wee man when Dad took me to see “Never Say Never Again” in the theater. It was a Matinee and I didn’t sit in my seat the whole time) Porn, foul language, and fishing. Its only recently that I’ve taken to guns…tho I had toy guns galore.
Yeah I’d imagine if the Liberal Shills weren’t full of shit, I’d be a serial killer by now.
My dad took me to see Richard Pryor, let me drink a beer, and own a rifle when I was seven and look at me now!!!
I was taught to kill as a tyke, fishing. “Smack their head on a rock and gut ’em…” First known pictures of me not in a bassinet or a relatives arms, I’m playing with dead geese that had been SHOTGUN MURDERED in the snow in front of our old MT house…
Many decades later and I still haven’t robbed or killed anybody, but I sometimes curse. And the world continues to spin.
