[QUOTE="jeffsoward, post: 1227476, member: 7228"] :withstupi Dude, people are trying to help you here and you're sarcasm and flippant comments are making you look pretty petty.:flamed: You came in here asking for help but you also demeaned the livelihood of alot of gunsmiths. There's a reason people know names like Dr. Greyson (master 1911 smith), Mike Cyrwus (pistol smith to Phil Strader), Chuck Rogers (master 1911 smith), Virgil Tripp (master 1911 smith), Les Baer (commercialized master 1911 smith), etc. While you are exactly right, it's not rocket surgery, it is a very specialized profession (or hobby) that requires intimate knowledge of the components and how they interact so as not to cause harm (or death) to the user or bystanders when the product is finished. It's no wonder that Barry was a little perturbed by your statement but, you know what, he still wanted to help you make it right. That, right there, should have shown you what [B][I][U]a great person and serious professional he is[/U][/I][/B]. Knowing how the sear works doesn't cut it. Knowing how it works in relation to the dozen other parts, [U]the tolerances required when changing parts[/U], and the function of the pistol overall when changes are made is what makes it less than rocket surgery but more difficult than a guy with a file and some screwdrivers should take on. if you want to tinker, that's very cool, but you still need someone to bounce ideas off of and learn from. If you truly want help, Barry is the guy. He will give you all of the information you want. He loves to talk about 1911's and how they work. But you have to lose the attitude. [/QUOTE]
