HSc Break Point

<< < (2/3) > >>

jcorl:
Please excuse the poor quality. 

Warbird:
So it's on the Frame Rail forward of the Trigger and not the Slide.  I haven't seen that before, Jim, and can't imagine what could have caused it.  Is this high percentage you mention on Early Wartime HSc's with the deep undercut inside the Frame Web or Late Wartime with the shallow undercut?

Like_Old_Guns:
Wow, not what I was expecting from the description.  The photo definitely shows the fracture.  Curious, I don't see this as a stress area, but clearly need to rethink it. Thanks for the photo.  I need to inspect my collection.

jcorl:
The photo is from a Variation One.  I have seen this on 1940, 1941,1942 and 1943 production year examples, but not any latter serial numbered examples.  Sure is an odd location for a problem.

They did stop hollowing out the front area eventually. Perhaps the two are related?
