Gunfire, mayhem erupt in lobby of Waldorf-Astoria
 
NEW YORK (AP) — Gunfire erupted in the storied Waldorf-Astoria Hotel during a brazen robbery attempt Saturday at a lobby jewelry store, wounding a security guard and sending guests diving for cover.

Note that the guy who put an end to this wasn't a police officer, but a "hotel employee".

Pin shoot!

Had a lot of folks show up at the pin shoot and the next one is going to be early next month.

While I was there, noticed a lot of folks using Ruger MkII's, so without further ado, I'll point you to Xavier's blast shielf-trigger debris modification. A neat mod if you are a high-volume .22 shooter which keeps debris from getting under the feed ramp and onto the trigger.

In addition, Xavier has a great tutorial on modifying finicky magazines for reliability. 

FYI - Xavier is a Ruger, 1911 and S&W afficionado out of New Orleans and blogs at XavierThoughts.

See you next month!
