Just had my P-32 fixed at K-T, while I was in the area. Rode my Moto Guzzi over from Apopka. Mine was an early one, SN# 026XX, and had developed the habit of having the assembly pin back out during firing. That I could live with, but then I started getting light strike misfires. The gun has had about 600 rds through it, mostly FN FMJs, but some Fiocchi and Cor-Bon.

Val said the frame was worn, so she replaced it completely -- I now have my old slide/barrel group on a brand new frame (same SN). Works fine so far, but I've only put about 25 rds thru it as of yet.

The decayed and degraded state of moral and valorous feeling which believes that nothing is worth violence is much worse. Those who have nothing for which they are willing to fight; nothing they care about more than their own craven apathy; are miserable creatures who have no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the valor of those better than themselves.
