Had a gunsmith at the Heritage Guild in Easton install some sights on my RIA 1911 and I have to say I am not happy at all. The first time I shoot it after he done the job my rear sight walked it's way out at the range, he fixed it and I think I didn't get the chance to test it out, can't remember. Finally got a chance to shoot it yesterday and again to my surprise it move a few mm to the left. I am thinking of finding a different gunsmith to see if this can be fixed and not have to worry about it or let RIA step in and take care of it.

I'm so pissed I just want to get rid of the whole slide and buy a new one all together.

If the set screw is missing replace it. Take a center punch and make several punch marks on the bottom of the sight (this assumes the sight is steel) - this will create small craters and the raised edges will improve the fit in the dovetail. When you reinstall, use blue Loc-Tite liberally in the dovetail. Adjust sight to correct position, use a drop of blue Loc-Tite on the set screw and tighten same. Allow Loc-Tite to cure.

 

Adios,

      I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html

      The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam

      I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.

      Light primer strikes

      Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
