Remove the drift pin holding the safety pin? in place. Take out the safety pin, turn it 180 degrees and mark it where the drift pin hole is. Then file a notch in the the safety pin so that when reinstalled the drift pin will hold it in place. Now the firing pin is locked in place. And it is reversible to return it to it's original configuration. Worked for me. Just be judicious in filing the safety pin to make sure it is held up as high as possible. -

I always liked to carry a full size gun off duty way back when I was a Deputy. Like you said, it doesn't matter that much if the grip is longer so why not? I felt better with more grip in my hand, a bit more control of the gun. -

I have one. Maybe you can talk me out of it. I have a 38-55 Buff Classic I prefer, don't really need both. -

How do you know what the percentage is? Did you have it tested by a salvage yard or something? -

What is the other 2%? -
My son is taking some auto maintenance/engine rebuilding classes at the local City College. He came home yesterday and wanted me to help him do the micrometer reading worksheet. When I picked up my mike and put my pinkie through the middle to hold it, he told me the teacher said that was an unacceptable way to hold it. Said you have to hold it with one hand on the bottom of the U frame on the plastic panels, otherwise body heat will change the reading, and use the other hand to work the spindle. Now, I am not a master machinist, but my father was, and that is how he said to hold a mike. Is this really a thing? Seems to me there is more error to be made by just not being consistent with tightening the spindle, hard to believe body heat will change the reading enough to matter. Just to be informed I looked on the internet, and found a video tutorial by Starrett about the use and maintenance of a micrometer, and the first thing the guy did was to put his pinkie through the U frame to hold it. So, anybody hear about the body heat problem, or is his teacher mis-informed?
