I went to the gun show yesterday and got a brand spankin' new Springfield Armory "Micro Compact" .45! It has tritiums and that sort of parkerized finish (K-Coat?). It needs a match trigger with an overtravel stop and the pull (which at about 3 pounds, is too light for the street) needs to be increased to 5 pounds with the overtravel adjusted....but I got a GREAT deal (at least I think so). I traded my jam-a-matic ParaOrdnance P10 + $200. Consider I bought the P10 used a few years ago. At that time I traded a mouse gun in .32 + $100. I'm a happy camper. Already got tons of mags fer it, and it fits all my holsters. I just need a Blade Tec IWB for it and I'll be set! I'm just braggin' about my new toy, don't mind me. It's my new full time carry gun. But not before I take it to the range and figure out where it's shootin' with all my defense loads! LOL.

What a great deal!
I have friend that has a P-10 and it was sent back to the factory. That made the total to be about four that I know of. I had three jams out of my P-14 last weekend but I'm blaming the Mec-Gar magazine.

I know I shoot a lot but just once I would like to go to the range and shoot all day and not have a single jam or failure to fire out of any of my toys.

Try a "new" 18# spring in that P-10 before ya toss it on the junk pile .........:o)

Keep me posted on your progress with that rig. My smallest 45 is a old custom AMT Backup. The smallest one I "like" is the Colt Officers Model. My day to day is still a melted commander flavor.

Stay safe !
