Those tests though unpleasant are often needed. Really glad the doctor found and removed the polyps.

Took the new S&W SD9VE to the range today and went from happy to sad in 2 - 10 round magazines

So the first magazine I put 9 out of 10 inside the blue from 10 yards
I was pretty happy about that because this gun has a long 8 lb trigger
So the 2nd magazine are all of those on the right
I was like what the heck ?
Checked gun out and look what happened to front sight

See how it has moved to the left?
And it is not adjustable
That really sucks

Good thing I brought the Ruger
Saved the day at the range

I wonder what caused that. My son has put several thousand rounds through his with never a problem.

The slide is machined to receive that sight but it is installed by a human being
And I guess some type of adhesive is used to hold in place ?
You know how that goes
I'm thinking I can put the slide in a vise and tap the sight back and get some type of adhesive to hold?
At least I'm going to try before I send it to S&W to fix

@Mike CHS
Was just watching a utube video on how to remove front sights if you want to install different one
Just put in vise and tap out with a punch
So I guess I can do the same to get mine back in the right place

235 lbs
Showed to a couple others who said 270 lbs
At the time we thought he was about 230
Doesn't matter

Coincidently, these pics were scrolling across the top when I logged in.
Maurine told me that we are pretty much out of "choice" cuts of pork.
We have plenty of sausage, and a few ham roasts, but that's all
Might be time for a couple more feeder pigs.

I get great deals on hay because horse people around here are so picky
This is orchard/alfalfa/clover that I'm getting for $4 because it got bleached by the sun on one side
Between these and the sheets we get swept up off of concrete floor we have saved a lot on hay and fed better hay
