From basic disassembly and maintenance to more complex repair and customization techniques, master gunsmith Pat Sweeney explains in clear text and detailed photos how to get the very most out of your pistol or revolver. Whether you're wondering how to mount a front or rear sight, replace a cylinder, give your gun a thorough cleaning or perform any one of a hundred other essential procedures, you'll find it in this revised edition of Gunsmithing Pistols and Revolvers.
This book is big on talk about pistolsmithing, but is a bit short on the actual methods for fine tuning, adjustment, tweaking, and improving things. There are numerous areas in 1911s e.g., where polishing and slight shaping will help reliability in feeding tremendously and make it essentially jamproof, like eliminating 3 point bind problem areas with shaping, smoothing, and polishing of feed ramps, transition area, the proper shape and tensioning of extractors and ejectors, etc. This is one of THE major big areas in making the run of the mill factory 1911 work reliably, and Patrick Sweeney comes up short in those areas. In regard to magazines, instead of pointing out the different shapes and styles of feedlips and the problems that can occur and how to correct them, he tells you to buy high priced magazines and you are still left with nothing to go on to make magazines work properly.
