Loaning handgun to carry in another state?
Oddly transferring to her with the intention of her transferring it back may be considered a straw purchase. Its worth looking into. How about she gets a P2P and you buy her a fun if her own? Spare pistol is always good.

They're spies, just not like us. Emmit Fitzhume and Austin Milbarge. I didn't notice The Lost Boys. If it was already mentioned sorry.

True. Overall great 80s soundtrack. Dio, Hagar. And Fiorentino was at her finest.

All the others were good but as some who wrestled from a young age through college it was the most important movie ever made. Madonna as a lounge signer performing Crazy for You and Get into the Groove before she was mega famous. The campy hotel room speech about Pele. I could go on-and-on. Spoiler: they scored the final match incorrectly as well as other gaffes in that scene. However, who didn't jump off their couch when he pinned Shute? I still stand and watch that match 30 years later. My wife laughs at me watching as if he may lose one time.

Here's an actual model 99 manual. The slide stop spring hooks around the rear trigger pin, as i thought, to secure in place. You need a punch to knock the pin out and then tap back in. Exploded diagram page 28 http://pdf.textfiles.com/manuals/FIREARMS/s&w_99.pdf

Sig P220 vs 1911
We're all biased. The 1006 is the nuts. I have a 610 wheel gun that I love. I'm in the process of converting a GP100 to a 3" 10mm carry piece. I've be starting to consider getting a 1006 before it's to difficult.

Sig P220 vs 1911
Good luck with the job search I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for. I had a chance to fire a Sig 220 recently in my favorite semi-auto caliber 10mm. While I'm a bit of a whore for 1911s I was really impressed with the pistol. It had a really nice trigger, good feel and reset, was accurate and smooth. It was a friends and I'd have bought one if I could find the 10mm without that, IMHO, god awful kryptec cammo job. If I were only getting one pistol I'd get the 1911--infinitely customizable to your liking. I have a kimber I've been fiddling with for years and the only kimber bits left are the frame and slide. I haven't had it out in a while but shot it yesterday and the trigger is still great in this thing. If im not mistaken the 220 is the same capacity in 45 ACP. Perhaps a local range has them to rent? Good luck I'm sure either way you go you won't be disappointed.

AR gunsmith recommendations
I've been reading a lot more support for the original Grendel in various forums including the horde. Well I wish you luck with your Grendel I know I enjoy mine. What is the rest of the parts list for this particular rifle?

AR gunsmith recommendations
While I recommend you use Tier 1, had them build me two precision bolts, AR assembling is straightforward even for the 6.5 Grendel caliber. The only issue is having headspace gauges. If you are using a free float barrel assembly it is simply a matter or appropriate thread stretching then torquing to spec. The barrel makes contact with nothing other than the gas tube inserting into the gas key. I would recommend borrowing/buying a headspace to ensure the bolt fits the barrel extension appropriately. If you go it alone make sure you use a good moly lubricant for the upper receiver barrel nut threads. I think aeroshell is mil-spec. Umbrella Corp sells it cheaply. https://www.ucwrg.com/materiel/miscellaneous-components/18/aeroshell-33ms-grease/ If it's a good quality barrel and has a proper chamber (big arguments on Grendel I and Grendel II throat), bullet weights are good for twist and the ammo is quality, it'll be accurate. If I'm not mistaken BHW uses GII, which is really 264 LBC compatible (at least that's what I recall). All this grendel talk had me go and load up 150 rounds of 123 SMK's. I guess I know what I'm shooting tomorrow.

S&W SW99 Issue
I don't think you'll hurt it. I can't see if it loops the trigger pin or if there is a channel along the slide in the frame.
-
S&W SW99 Issue
Without having it in my hands I'm guessing that the large trigger pin has to be pushed out. The loop facing front is probably intended to hook around it. The flat spot to the rear of the spring goes under the slide stop to apply upward pressure on it. I don't think anything is wrong you just some how dislodged the slide stop spring.

I don't know if Manny at the bullet hole is still doing work but for something like this he may do it.
