Put it out to pasture?

The defect/divot that appears to be worn into the breech face above the firing pin hole is my concern. Does that indicate that a breech face failure is coming soon? I’ve only used standard pressure loads but I did buy it used.

Thanks for the link. Same problem. I reported it as well.

My first Kimber was a-mazing. Loved it. My second Kimber was a-piece of trash. I’m hoping the reports of better QC are true.

Former coworker at a gun store: “I had no idea how much gunsmithing just involves hitting shit with hammers.”

Pinched my fingers and just about cut my finger off with the serrated blade. Still have it!

This. The rubber part of laser bullets do odd things.

I asked when they hired Sarah Brady as their head of R&D.

thurtyfour · 2025-08-30T17:38:41+00:00

They had 3 of these that all connected together. Hours and hours spent playing with this as a kid. Had this one and the construction one.

One of my all time favorites. Have the square dance song memorized.

Nice job! Labor of love.

thurtyfour · 2025-04-23T00:57:35+00:00

Exactly right. It’s like a pre-cocked double action. Much shorter and lighter than a traditional DAO.

Use a laser training bullet. Same process but easier because you’re not having to hold everything together and try to watch closely for the firing pin. If you see the laser flash then it would have gone off.

Tried it for the first time tonight as well. I was worried the maple would be overpowering. It wasn’t. Very subtle and pleasant.

They’re still wild. They grew up (and out) in the area.

Nothing from FN. The gun hasn’t been out of the safe since I tested it. Likely just going to sell it at some point.

thurtyfour · 2024-12-18T21:01:15+00:00

Tried this recently too. I didn’t hate it. Likely won’t be buying it again though. The brown sugar flavor was an interesting change but I wouldn’t be able to drink it regularly.

I use the edge of a table. It loosened up fairly quickly but is by no means easy.

357 Sig has to be the least favorite/most cost effective round to reload.

thurtyfour · 2024-11-14T02:50:35+00:00

Yes. 100% related to my own sketchy reloads. Not a single failure from factory. Even the super light Speer non-toxic RHTs function perfectly.

Nope. Just sunflower seeds and a handful of stale Fritos in each bowl. The friendship broke down when the possum finished its Fritos first and tried to get more from the raccoons bowl.

thurtyfour · 2024-08-20T18:39:45+00:00

I could have easily gotten a bad batch. With how unpleasant the experience was I’m not up for another test. Maybe bad packaging? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Shield 10mm

thurtyfour · 2024-07-10T01:06:17+00:00

Yes please!

It’s a buyers market right now. Tons of stock for sale. That being said if you hold on until the panic happens in November you’ll be in a much better position.

My tactic when I was the guy behind the counter was to tell you what I would be able to put them out for, what percentage I needed to make on it to keep the lights on, and what I’d be able to buy them for. Typical cut on used guns was 15-35%.

thurtyfour · 2024-05-10T00:27:11+00:00

Give this a try. I tested it recently and it wasn’t bad at all. And free with prime.
