Hola.

Went to the range tonight with 50 rnds of Wolf 115 gr FMJ's. Out of 45 rnds fired, all but 3 failed to recock the pistol. I'm guessing the wolfs are a little on the wimpy side. So, I just recocked manually after each shot and I still enjoyed myself until my firing pin spring retainer decided it had had enough. That bastard little nub on the retainer that holds it locked into the breechblock broke off.

So I'll be doing some parts shopping I s'pose.

I might replace the pin and get a spring kit too just for good measure.

Can anyone suggest any commonly replaced parts I might want to add to this order for just in case situations?
