barrel change issue with HSc.

<< < (2/3) > >>

Drrere:
Warbird.
The .32 barrel does lock in place in the dove tails as you suggested I try, as does the .380 it came with.
However with the slide retraction and snap return (no cartridge inserted) the slide still dislodges. This also happens if the gun is on "fire".
Any additional thoughts?
Thx in advance for your input.

Drrere:
Warbird,
After reading another post re barrel conversion where you mention the frame lock again, you also say it might be necessary to change to a weaker recoil spring with the .32 barrel.
Was wondering in light of my last entry (where the .32 barrel does lock up to the frame), if a weaker spring would be the next "treatment" to try?

Warbird:
When you say "the Slide dislodges" what you are actually saying is "the Barrel dislodges" since the connection to the Frame is by the Barrel and not the Slide.  Therefore the .32 Barrel cannot be locking properly in place.  This has nothing to do with the Recoil Spring.

Drrere:
The .32 barrel sure seems to snap into a "locked" position, but must not as you state.
What was a previous response you made on a similar issue where you mentioned the possible need to change out to a "weaker" spring related to?
I think though that it will be best to change to a "70's vintage" barrel as you first mentioned.
Shall f/u afterword to let the forum know the outcome.
Thanks again for you input.

Warbird:
You should consider changing the Recoil Spring if you have feed or ejection problems after you make the Barrel change.
