For the followers of my Bauer pistol saga . . . today we had success . . . sort of . . .
On the advice of others who know a good deal more about this than I, I figured out how to, with the slide removed from the gun, get an empty shell locked into the extractor as it would be when then gun is loaded. Then I could clearly see that the firing pin was hanging up on the extractor. A little Dremel work with a grinder and a polish and I'm hopeful.
Take it to the range today and . . . YES! First mag I get four shots and two fail to feed. Second mag all six run through the gun no sweat. These first two mags were ball ammo. I load up some hollow points . . . and they won't even chamber. Ah well. Will work on that later. Load up the mag with ball ammo (Blazer) and have a good time seeing what a crappy shot I am with such a little gun.
Then about 30 rounds in . . . the mag release breaks in half. Not the part of it that I had fixed, but it comes off right below the holes for the pin that keeps it in. But . . .
I know where to get a new mag release.
Any thoughts on getting the hollow points to feed is welcome.
Life is good. Stay Healthy.
