Trying to narrow down candidates for a revolver
Maybe, but there's a cut off. The LCR and SP101 are small guns and don't carry much weight. The 686+ might be the sweet spot, but every revolver is going to transfer the recoil directly to the web of the hand with nothing delaying or soaking it up. Switching to a softer load is sort of cheating, IMO. I can make a handload that will barely jump out of the ejection port, much less smack anybody in the head, but I don't think that's what you want either.

Trying to narrow down candidates for a revolver
To be honest, an aversion to recoil is never going to be addressed by switching to a small revolver. A semi-auto soaks up some of the recoil to cycle the action. Revolvers just don't. Have you considered employing a good instructor who can teach her how to grip the gun to optimize recoil control? For small hands, the CZ P10 is a great gun. Available in full size and compact.

I'm guessing, but I reckon one for the court, one for NJSP and one for your local PD - so three filing cabinets.

You submitted the SP642 in triplicate, right? There is a box on the form to put a photo. 3 forms plus the PCH itself makes 4.

By statute, the PD have 60 days to complete the background checks. Sept 26 is not 60 days ago, its 29. You're not even halfway there yet.

Help me decide
Look at the CZ 97B (not the BD). It's .45 ACP, DA/SA and has a manual safety. The BD version has a decocker instead of a safety.

The propaganda arm (4th estate) has issued an official memorandum regarding the carry laws supporting that of our most glorious and kind rulers
They insist on conflating law abiding gun carriers with criminals and gangbangers. They just can't comprehend that there are people who want to carry guns for their own protection from the criminals they pretend to be so concerned about. The cognitive dissonance is astounding. They seem determined to now believe the careful framework of background checks insufficient to distinguish bad guys from good guys. If this is the case, why insist on background checks at all? Either background checks work, or they don't.

qualification thread
It's unlikely to even be noticed. Also, several of my PtPP that I submitted as evidence that I owned the guns had a completely different address on them because people move and change address. I'd say stop overthinking it.

I wrote a letter to the court listing the additional guns along with a qualification cert from the instructor I use.

Outboard motor question
Maybe helicoil makes another product as well, but my understanding of them is that you drill out the ruined threads, tap the larger hole with the appropriate tap and then screw in the helicoil so the inside of the helicoil matches the same diameter & thread pitch as the original bolt. Unless I'm mistaken, if there's not enough meat to tap out to the next larger size thread, there won't be enough meat to install a helicoil either.

Help: 1911 Failure To Eject
Without deliberate testing you should not assume anything. Take it back to the range and deliberately test each mag. Again, go back to the range and deliberately determine which cases it had an issue with and save them for examination. I have no idea why that would be an issue. However, repeatedly chambering a specific round can cause something called bullet set back. This is where the bullet is pushed farther and farther into the case each time it is chambered. This can become dangerous as an overpressure event could occur if you fired that cartridge with the bullet set deeper into the case than designed - it leaves less space for the powder so the pressure spike at ignition could be higher, even too high. The tip of the extractor should not be loose at all - there should be constant pressure toward the center of the gun - definitely more than you can overcome with finger pressure. If you can move it with little to no pressure you have already damaged the extractor and need to get it replaced - it is probably broken inside the slide. The internal extractor design of a 1911 supplies its own springiness. There is no separate extractor spring. Replacing it can be a simple drop in, but more often it will need fitting and tuning to your specific gun. Unless you're very familiar with the 1911 internals (and I'm guessing you're not) it is a job best left to a gunsmith. Until you get this issue sorted out, I would not rely on this gun for self defense unless you have no other alternatives.

Help: 1911 Failure To Eject
A few things to check off the bat: Is there any crud built up under the extractor claw? - if there is crud under there it can prevent the claw getting full purchase on the rim of the case. Is the extractor claw in good condition? If there is a piece chipped off the extractor claw it is not going to make good contact on the case rim. Is there good tension on the extractor? If the extractor is not pressing in towards the center of the case it can more easily jump the rim. Is the recoil spring still within spec? If the recoil spring is worn and is not applying sufficient forward pressure the slide speed may be too fast and the case may have not released from the sides of the breech before the extractor comes into play. Also, does it happen with the same mag every time, or with a variety of mags? Marking your mags can help here. What ammo are you using? Aluminum case is not as strong as brass and the extractor can sometimes rip through it. Following on from the last point, is there any tell-tale markings on the case that failed to extract? To be sure not to make any additional marks, when the FTE happens, do not drop the slide back over the case to eject it. Pry it out gently with a knife tip or small screwdriver. Do you, or have you ever loaded a round into the breech and dropped the slide onto it? The 1911, along with most other semi-autos, is a controlled feed design. The rim of the fresh round is supposed to slide up the breech face so the rim is already under the extractor. Forcing the extractor to move outboard to skip over the rim is not doing it any good, especially with the internal extractor design found in the 1911.

When to carry
I'm carrying pretty much everywhere because I don't want to keep putting it on and taking it off. I'm fully aware that the likelihood of needing it is exceedingly low, but if I do need it, I'll be mighty glad I had it. Similarly, I have a spare tire that goes everywhere with me when I'm driving. I don't just load it up when I'm heading somewhere with crappy roads with lots of pot holes.

The court order says I must carry my permit with me. It does not say I must carry the court order. I will have an electronic copy I can access from my phone if necessary, but I am not going to be carrying the CO around with me. No murse needed.
