I did not have much to do with it and Norm is the go to man in my book. I only know what Norm told me and I am learning as fast as I can. I have been doing pistol smithing for years now and I learn something new every day. That trick with the paper clip will definitely save you a lot of aggravation ...

No aiming, no night sights, just problem solved!

I also have a safety question on a 1973 model. When I first got the pistol the safety was almost impossible to move. I cleaned and lube the assembly and that did little to help. I then took the safety out and put it on a buffing wheel and also the detent pin that snaps into the cut outs. That still ...
