Wilson Combat Dwyer Group Gripper

My Kimber CDP Pro was exhibiting an odd tendency to group in two distinctly different groups- one high and one low. I took out some strips of feeler gauge and found out that there was .007″ of play between the slide lugs and barrel lugs. After discovering that welding and re-fitting a barrel would cost [...]

I [...]
