Title: Opinions
Post by: riffraff on September 10, 2006, 09:28:51 PM
I am thinking of trying something.  Both of my R9S's are only 100% reliable with one perticular type of ammo.
I am thinking of trying barrel and or total slide swaps on my R9's to see if reliability improves so that a wider variety of ammo might be used in one or both guns.  If I pay attention on those first couple of rounds with these parts swaped I don't believe that any damage could be done to the guns.

I am guessing that this is pretty much what is done when an owner returns their R9 because of jam problems.

Has anyone else tried this?

What do you think.

Mike

one way to find out.
if machined as close on tolerances as
we believe it should make virtually no difference
how these parts are re-assembled....handfitting
is needed when tolerances initially are NOT that
good...never tried it...but would not think it
would present any significant risk to gun or shooter.
I would do it only to experiment and then restore things as they were...particularly if the guns have been shot a bunch
as they may have by that action begun to acquire some distinct wear characteristics...this individual wearing in is the only caveat I can think of to the why not?
