    I don't think I can do better. I don't like how he pulled the striker forward. It looked like he was pulling on the spring. I use a sharp small screwdriver to get behind my stainless striker guide. I...

    I know there are places in the striker channel and extractor spring hole that are not cleaned without stripping the slide. The extractor is a good example as it is impossible to perfectly clean the...

    One final thing. The Kahr lube diagram does NOT call for any oil in the striker channel. It does call for a very small drop on the part of the striker that is pushed back by the cocking cam. It also...

    My wife is well trained to apply the "Ripley Retractor" when I have the striker spring pulled forward. I still do the final disassembly inside a big ziplock bag so if I slip I am not looking for...

    Being retired and able to shoot in my back yard has advantages. I can pick a nice morning with rain forecast in the afternoon. I strip my slide every time I shoot these days. When working I did not....

    I also agree with everything you said also. I don't think you can shoot a P380 "too much.". If the gun is cleaned and "properly oiled and greased" there is not a lot that wears out. Yes, you have to...

    Magazine springs

    One thing I have neglected over the years is replacing my mag spring in my P380. I seem to wait until it does not lock back every time on an empty mag. I pull out the spring and stretch it out and...

    An empty mag follower will push up the slide stop. This is what causes the slide to lock back when the mag is empty. If you have the slide locked back and an empty mag inserted it is still pushing up...
