I have acquired a P16-40 Limited, which I think I'll like very much for IPSC, however, it has a full length guide rod, which is a new wrinkle to me.
I've used regular 1911s for years and am familiar with take down and reassembly, but how do I take apart this beast? The rod protrudes thru the spring plug during recoil. In battery, the rod is about 1/8" below the level of the exit hole in the spring plug. Can anybody help?
------------------
We don't have a chaplain here, but I don't view that as any major problem... You can rest assured that you will not go in that bag until I've said a few appropriate words over you
