Frequently Asked Questions

What is the mainspring housing's role in a 1911 pistol?

In a 1911 pistol, the mainspring housing contains a leaf spring, often with two or three prongs, which is crucial for controlling the trigger pull weight. Different prong configurations can affect how the trigger mechanism operates.

How do Ruger firearms typically fail?

Ruger firearms often fail due to user error, such as overloading them with excessive pressure ammunition or neglecting maintenance like lead buildup. This can lead to over-pressurization and catastrophic failures, rather than inherent design flaws.

Are bump stocks protected by the Second Amendment?

No, bump stocks are not considered firearms and are not protected by the Second Amendment. While federal governments can ban them, individual states may have their own regulations regarding their possession and use.

What are the implications of new FFL regulations in Washington state?

New regulations in Washington state require FFL businesses to record customer voice and video for two years. This is seen as a significant financial burden intended to drive many gun shops out of business.
