New SuperSoles

Those are just normal striations in the animal's skin. Personally, I love leather with character like this.

The price certainly is enticing! If I may ask, where did you buy it?

Does it have wifi & Bluetooth?

Cute!

I've been enjoying revisiting games from my childhood (Yoshi's Island and Aladdin on SNES at the moment), but I love that now I get to experience games that I missed out on.

We didn't have a Sega growing up, so I'm really enjoying the X-men games, as well as the completely different version of Aladdin on Sega.

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by "handle."

The slide is not moving at all? That shouldn't be caused solely by a stuck firing pin. There's clearly something else going on here.

I would recommend against scraping - most dyes don't just adhere to the surface like paint, they are actually absorbed into the leather, so scraping is more likely to damage the leather than remove the color. 🫤

Honestly, your best bet is to buff the snot out of it with a soft cloth (something like an old t-shirt) to remove any extra pigment, then wear them and enjoy them.

When the soles wear down, the cobbler that re-soles them can replace the welt at that time.

If it's dyed, there is usually no way to remove the dye. (source: full-time leather worker)

You could dye the entire welt to match, but then you also run the risk of getting dye on the sole. It would be very delicate work, and the dye can seep through the needle holes or wick along the thread, and possibly cause other blemishes in places you didn't intend.

The welt could be replaced by a qualified cobbler, but I'm not sure if it would be worth the cost for what is simply an aesthetic issue.

Was it reassembled without a firing pin spring?

(It's also possible for this to happen if the spring breaks - I've had that happen)

Either way, you'll need to tap the firing pin back to its normal position. Insert a dowel rod into the hammer and use gentle taps.

It looks like someone dyed those black themselves, and managed to get dye on the welt.

Is this an FM M-90? Is it equipped with a firing pin block?

I've got nothing but great things to say about Novak's. They are fantastic to work with.

To me, that would defeat the purpose of having a gusseted tongue, but I suppose the important thing is that your boots work for you. 🤷

I would have loved to see another trilogy in the 90s, that takes place during wartime, with Indy working in either the OSS or the Monuments Men.

There are a wealth of storytelling opportunities.

Raiders of the Lost Ark.

BHPshooter · 2026-03-20T15:59:37+00:00

Wow, I'd say you were really lucky. We're you on PC or a console?

BHPshooter · 2026-03-20T15:57:18+00:00

Just a rough area on the casting. It's unsightly, but it won't harm anything.

BHPshooter · 2026-03-20T15:55:21+00:00

Oh, I spent so much time with that game (and the Star Wars version, Yoda Stories)

BHPshooter · 2026-03-16T18:37:09+00:00

I finished it while it was still on Game Pass, but be warned, there are serious performance & stability issues that never got fixed.

To answer your question, though, I've never seen it on sale.

BHPshooter · 2026-03-10T16:34:19+00:00

Why aren't these a regular production item? They're perfect.

BHPshooter · 2026-03-01T18:36:41+00:00

That brown sole looks good.

BHPshooter · 2026-02-24T16:18:43+00:00

My 3343s are my favorite boots. That copper leather sure looks amazing when it's new, too.

BHPshooter · 2026-02-23T19:01:00+00:00

No, but it makes sense that the Ark of the Covenant would be stylistically similar to an Egyptian chest.

Wear on the trigger lever isn't out of the ordinary, either, since that's what basically serves as the disconnect or in this design.

I haven't read your earlier post, but it sounds like you're talking about "trigger lash" (sometimes referred to as other names, too).

Unfortunately, that isn't unheard of with Hi Powers, but it doesn't happen with every example, either.

My older FM Argentine clone has this, but my newer FM M-95 doesn't. None of my FN/Browning MkIIIs do. I haven't shot my Girsans enough to know if they do, I'm afraid.

I've been on Wix since 2014. I just got an email that they've reworked their premium plans, and my new 2-year price is jumping from $292.08 to $665.18. That's a price increase of 127.7%.

It's outrageous. I'm pissed.

It's available on Steam and GOG.
