First about your photos.
When you upload a photo, you are presented with a success screen that shows your photo. On that screen, there are instructions that the URL for the photo must be copied and pasted into a post to make the photo appear by using image tags. The image tags start with the letters "img" (no quotes) surrounded by the square brackets "[ and ]" and after your URL you place the same tag but the 'img' letters are preceded with a back slash "/" that tells the page that the address is finished.
Just upload your photos again, and this time copy and past the URL into a temporary location like in Notepad... then add the image tags and paste the whole shooting match into you post.
Be sure and leave a "return" in between each photo. You can put up to 8 images into each individual post... and that includes smiley faces like this one
Regarding the loose sideplate. this can be corrected by judicious and careful bending. it doesn't take much work to fix this, but you have to have confidence in yourself.
The bend of the tab should take place at Point A.
Place a small shim, a popcicle stick should do, under point B.
Then carefully and gently stike Point C (the raised portion of the sideplate) with a rubber mallet to ever so slightly until you have achieved a bend at Point A of about 1/32 of an inch or even less. Do this and then try the fit on the sideplate. keep doing it until you have a snug but not TIGHT fit.
This should cure your unreliable striker drop.
If you are careful you can do this,
but at your own risk ... If you are not comfortable making these adjustments, take it to a gunsmith.
Good Luck! ... and let us know how you made out.
