A lesson in humility................

Chris,

Thanks for the kind words.

"Know it all" was perhaps the wrong phrase for me to use.

Thanks to your videos, I've really enjoyed getting "familiar" with my pistol.

Unfortunately I made the assumption that swapping out parts would be just as simple. This wasn't inferred by your videos at all..... it was a conclusion I came to on my own.

I didn't stop to consider the effect of different years of manufacture, different companies, subtle design improvements, 90+ year old technology (CNC milling machines hadn't been invented), etc. I've learned first hand that these things aren't the same as my son's Legos..... All of these factors add up to the probability that the part won't fit!

It's just frustrating..... thats all...

And you're absolutely right. I didn't screw up my pistol! Whew.....

Have a great rest of the week,

Dave in TN.
