Springfield Slim SASS #24733 526 Posted August 18 So why do I need to buy an 84.00 tool, when I can just work the lever until the bolt is most of the way back, and just use a regular screwdriver to remove the last shell? The first nine are no problem, push down the ladle and use your finger or a small screwdriver to lift them out. Been there, done that. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because your screw driver is not thin enough and shaped to clear all three of the common '73 jams.

TBBandito 38 Posted August 19 (edited) So another toy (I mean tool) is a question here?? Come on cowboys/girls!! Really? If they were about $50 bucks I’d be all in!! Although I Shoot a 45 and don’t seem to have the 38 curse... Good idea PV Gunworks!! TB Edited August 19 by TBBandito Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Springfield Slim SASS #24733 526 Posted August 19 I guess I'm lucky and my ammo doesn't jam my '66's or '73's. Maybe I'll have to watch the other videos to see what the other 2 common jams are. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess we are shooting too slow. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doc Marks 9 Posted August 19 I’m about to make some screw knives if you are interested. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Springfield Slim SASS #24733 526 Posted August 19 I watched all the videos now, and the jam caused by using the wrong ammo(45 colt in a 44-40 gun, for example), the tool would come in handy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Palo Verde, SASS # 56522 94 Posted August 20 (edited) More like these Blade has to be very thin -- Spring steel -- and to pretty exacting dimensions more or less Edited August 20 by Palo Verde, SASS # 56522 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Springfield Slim SASS #24733 526 Posted August 20 R and R: I bought it for my daughter to shoot but we haven't been to a match with it yet, just practicing. I bought another shorter stock for her as she is only 5' tall. She does pretty well at 200 yards with it, need to try out further. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LOL Texas Maverick Haha, now it will probably happen this weekend! Very often when a shooter (ESPECIALLY less experienced shooters) has a jam during a stage, the TO whips out his screwknife and helps unjam it. Obviously, this will not fly in a big match.

That is very true, I have seen that a number of times and have even handed my screwknife to them to use when they didn't have one handy. See ya Saturday.
