    Surprise phone call

    Gun shop called this morning to tell me my Micro Compact Operator was in. Holy cow!!!! Was supposed to take 12-16 weeks and it's here in less then a month!!!

    I'll post some pics tomorrow. Until then I have a question. I proceeded to disassemble to clean. Sheesh just trying to get the disassembly pin out was a bear. Once I got it out, I honestly thought I would have to take it to my gunsmith for reassembly. Couldn't get the pin back in.

    Talk about tight. Please tell me this is going to loosen up a bit. I plan to take it apart tomorrow, do a good cleaning, and head to the range on Thursday. Figure I'll run out to Wally World and see if I can buy a box or two of WWB.

    Will keep ya'll posted. In the meantime if anyone has any hints/tips to remove and replace the disassembly pin I'd appreciate it.

    Any recommendations on magazines for it?

    Bought one Saturday and had difficulty removing the pin too. Difficult removing and reinserting. A bit of lubricant , time and patience and it will be less of an effort !

    One other thing I might add. I have a Colt Defender and always liked the feel of the rubber grips with the finger grooves. I purchased and installed the" Pierce Grip Enhancement for Officer Mode / 1911 Compact and equivalents " . I think it improves the "feel" , especially it being a small handgun. www.pearcegrip.com. 1-800-390-9420. I bought the grip quite a while ago anticipating the purchase of the pistol and I think I purchased thru The Officers Store ?
    The Defender was returned to Colt twice because of feeding issues, FTF. I'm hoping this Springfield will be reliable. I could never carry the Colt and feel secure. Accuracy on the Colt was terrific, I haven't fired the Springfield yet.........................maybe get to the range later this week. I have three other Springfield handguns and have "0" issues with them................ great factory support with lifetime warranty, no more Colts for me .
