Damage to a shooter

Edward Tinker · 11-05-2015, 11:04 PM

I took my GT bull barrel out shooting, it shot great, but in the first few minutes, shooting standard Federal 9mm (nothing plus about it), it broke an extractor!

So, anyone here who shoots a collector grade, even only a box every few years; this broke a numbered part on my toggle, luckily it was not a collector piece.

Obviously poor German metallurgy!

You are a wise man to shoot only a shooter pistol.

Ed I agree with Don, I often read also in other forums about people taking to the range their collectibles with the excuse of firing only a few shots per year.
I don't think there's anything more stupid about it especially if one is an avid collector.

Ed,

Thanks for the this video. It has been forwarded to my sons. I can only hope they take your advise.

No Sergio, its fine, this was a parts gun I made up for shooting. I was planning on sharing the new GT Special barrel, which worked very well, but the extractor breaking just showed that if I had taken my nice 1939 Mauser out and it broke the same part, I would be very upset.....

Hi Ed! Darn! I wished it hadn't broken down on ya!.....

.... Up to that point, what little you got to shoot it, did it have a good feel to it? It did for me! It was actually kind of snappy and fun! Too bad you didn't get more of a run with it.... Keep us informed! Best to you, til...lat'r....GT....

Ed, Ed, Ed....we still love ya..........

In red movies, we heard this frequently "one revolutionist fall down, but thousands revolutionists stand up"

Moving this to C&R: you broke an extractor, but also generated many many more good parts. It's not all negative.

Dick Herman · 11-06-2015, 09:03 PM

Sorry to hear about your extractor.

I am please to hear about shooting with this barrel. GT is making a barrel for me, I can hardly wait.

lugerholsterrepair · 11-06-2015, 09:57 PM

I would contact Ed Tinker..he seems to have a lot of parts.

Oh, I gave the wrong impression, sorry. It broke on the first magazine, but I had two shooters with me, so I just swapped out the toggle and kept shooting - no failure to fire - some failure to feed when my son was shooting, but not for me. Between the two of us, we shot a complete box.

Its a sweet shooter!
