      New M1 Garand

      Need input from Smith and Wesson Shield owners

      I hate my shield 40 because of the flippy recoil. The trigger pull is very rough also. I suspect the firing pin safety in the slide is a bit gritty, causing the rough feel. As far as the flippy recoil goes, I'll look for recoil springs and try to smooth it out. With any luck, I'll warm up to it...

      Good Cleaning Practices

      During my handgun cleaning sessions, I soak the frame and all parts of the gun in Hoppes #9 solvent. After brushing everything clean, (SHOULD I SOAK THE GUN IN 99% RUBBING ALCOHOL TO REMOVE THE SOLVENT BEFORE OILING THE GUN?) What is a good step by step cleaning practice? Thanks

      SS Handgun Lubrication

      My concern was possible galling of the slide rails. I think I am overthinking the whole issue of lubrication!!
