    A bouquet of rubber gloves, staples, and tape?

    We went for a hike and a nearby river had flooded and spilled out of its banks blocking some of the trails. I think this bunny must have gotten flushed out of his warren. He decided to see if my boot was made of bunny food.

    Yeah. Well, $2.739, but yeah. I think our fuel tax rates are way less than yours.

    Nice. Charger or Avenger?

    First time. I called Ruger and they said they'd send me some new moon clips, but I tried it with .45 Colt (which doesn't use moon clips) and had the same issue. I Googled and found several people who'd had the same issue with the Redhawk and had either installed a longer firing pin or shaved the hammer. Shaving the hammer is well within my skill set. Replacing a Redhawk firing pin requires a machine shop and is beyond my reach. I looked at the frame where the hammer hits and saw the transfer of the cross hatching developing in the lower right corner and realized that the hammer wasn't hitting square. Filing it flat and removing a few hundreths of an inch fixed that. Apparently the Redhawk has a different spring system than the GP100 and other DA revolvers Ruger makes. It uses one spring for everything, so you need to maximize the striking power of that spring or you get one that makes the trigger pull really heavy. Apparently if you shim the hammer in addition to shaving it a bit you can install a lower weight spring and drop the trigger weight a bit, but I'm not going to do that. I'd rather have 100% ignition with any ammunition than a 1-lb lighter trigger.

    I think I've got the primer issue worked out. There were some machining marks on the hammer that created a high spot, reducing the amount of energy transferred to the transfer bar that works the firing pin. I polished it up with a file and it's reliably setting off hard primers now. Ruger's stainless steel is harder than Chinese arithmetic. It took awhile to get it smooth.
  15. Docwagon
    Yup. With the easy swap front sight, which isn't the norm on the 4" Redhawks. It doesn't like the harder primers. It's not going to eat the same diet my P220 does without complaint, unfortunately.

    New Ruger Redhawk .45 Auto / .45 Colt. Review soon in my firearms thread.
  17. Docwagon
    Finished up the day with a bit of fundamentals work. Draw from the holster slowly, concentrate on grip, hard front sight focus, fire one shot, decock, reholster, repeat. The goal is to get one shot on each of the little 2" circles. The times on the side are from Bill drills.

    Meh. Once it hits the $5 bin I'll pick it up. MP didn't hold my attention and the game was more like watching a movie for me. I enjoyed it, but don't see myself replaying it and thus am in no hurry to spend $$$ on the next one.
  19. Docwagon
    Heh.

    Hot dogs before they are hot dogs?
  21. Docwagon
    That looks really cool. Hmm. Maybe a PC in my future. Maybe. Or not. But maybe.
  22. Docwagon
    Pass. Looks too complicated, too cluttered, and not for me.

    Update on the Shotmaxx. The company told me to check the charge, and if it was full they'd start the replacement procedure. I plugged it in and it was at 1%. Apparently the speaker requires enough battery to run. Who knew? Charged it up and it works as it's supposed to now, so user error on that one. I just went to long without charging it.

    Thanks. I spent today with my family at a little archaeological park. Due to flooding we couldn't complete any of the trails, but we did as much as we could. On the way home we stopped by a locally sourced food restaurant for dinner and brought home a sugar cream pie.
