We were planning on attending a motorcycle track day this weekend, but it was canceled (again!) due to severe weather that was forecast for the area. :-( So... I shot another USPSA action pistol match at the Amarillo Rifle and Pistol Club instead. :-) It has been raining heavily in my area too, but the skies dried up just long enough for us to shoot the match. Although it wasn't my best performance (hit a "no-shoot" on stage 4), I still placed first overall out of seven competitors that braved the chance of rain. At least I didn't have any gun malfunctions! :-)
In an attempt to eliminate my magazines as a cause of the frequent malfunctions that I'd been having on both of my EAA/Tanfoglio guns that share these magaizines, I recently replaced the factory springs and followers with the kit from Grams Engineering. These new springs and followers also increase the magazine's capacity to 20 rounds with the already installed Henning base pads (I am only loading them to 19 to keep them reliable). I've also polished the breech face of the slide on this gun, and I am now using Frog Lube paste for lubrication. All of these changes made a huge difference as the gun ran flawlessly. I can even tell a difference when simply racking the slide to load the gun at the start of a stage.
