so I took my new 45 colts out and shot them. What a great time that was.
I tried some shooting while looking down the sights (not bad) and then some shooting from the hip using the weak hand to cock the pistol :grin: :grin: :grin:
Anyway my 7.5" bbl Uberti pierced a few primers. I looked at the rounds from the other pistol and they looked great.
I looked at the firing pin and found it to be sharp and out of round. Kind of looked like a chisel.
Last night I made a drift (0.080") and this morning I removed the firing pin and turned a new one.
The next step will be hardening the pin, installing it and test firing.
Work has been slow here but I have been having alot of fun in the shop.
Here is a picture of the pins.
