Spare - When I got my Mark III I went to sight it in and it was shooting all over the paper at 50'. I was thinking that I just suck at shooting and the problem was me. Later that night I was cleaning the gun on my workbench and touched the front sight and it moved about 1/8". I put some locktight on the screw (after cleaning the threads) and went back to the range. Shoots like a dream now.

yeah, that ruger wont win any contest for fit and finish, its also the hardest gun to dissasemble and reasemble I've ever messed with, but it shure is fun to shoot, and it will keep on shooting til you're tired of shooting

Sounds like a CZ might work for you if you can find one at agood price. For what you want to do though you will need a durable weapon with as many rounds as you shoot. I would stick with the quality arms and find a good used deal. Watch the Dan wessons, owned one in the early eighties with the interchangeable barrels. Could be a pain in the arse to use the feeler guage and set the cylinder gap right and still would spit lead because the timing arm for them was made with a wear prone metal.
If you are considering a revolver for this practice I would recommend you pick up a Smith and Wesson in 9MM. It should be cheap on the used market and they were well made and shot well once you find the right ammo, as any gun is.
As far as the comments earlier about the Sigs take down lever it sounds like they had a bad production run with that piece. It happens to all manufactures. One big difference with Sig is they will fix it right away and pay for any refits needed, they stand behind their product.
There are millions of them in police duty just here in the U.S and there are many like the 226's we had that were sold used after 16 years of use and abuse to another department and I guarantee you they are still shooting the crap out of them.
I was an armorer for the Sigs and they are made well.
If you want to see something really nice take a look at the older German made Sigs like the 225 in 9mm I carried for years and still own. Very sweet with great triggers and high quality steel and maching.

I got my Sig in the late 80's as I mentioned and have to say that I have never once had any adverse issues with it. Never once failed me.

I had only heard good things about Sig's all my life so I was very suprised when I saw the failures at the range.

I should mention that there were 25 other people shooting Sig's with no problems that day. And I think we have roughly 450 people carrying them with only 8-10 failures..........not bad really.

Anytime you order that many of anything at one time, a few are bound to have a flaw or 2.

Lumber is safe, as long as it isn't the Red Rider model.
