Hey everyone! In this video, we cover two things: 1. The recommended Shadow Systems method to field strip the gun. 2. Occasionally, the guide rod can get wedged into a weird position in the frame and cause the slide to hang up during disassembly. It’s a very easy fix. We cover that here as well.

How well does “criminal marksmanship” actually work? I was reminded recently of an experiment I did years ago to stress test all-instinct point shooting.
