Nice !

How do you clean the Froglube when it's dried up ? Does gun-cleaner work ?

I have never had it dry up except once when I put some on leather, it just rubbed off like paste wax. I just cooked in the initial application as directed, and since then it's just work a small glob in with a nylon brush let it sit for a bit in a warm place, and then wipe it all off. I use Ed's Red on the bores.

Put a dot on it and sighted it in for 10 yards, it's going to take me a while to present it from instinct.

Lots of dry practice, until its second-nature, is the key. Put a post-it note on a wall, stay target focused the whole time and let the dot come into view superimposed over the target. 👍

Thanks. It's the "LEM Light" trigger, so no decocker at all. I'm very used to DA/SA platforms, and the LEM while different (it's technically a SAO) is not a difficult transition.



I think there's a lot more to the overall design of a pistol than just bore axis height that determines how "flippy" a pistol might feel - the shape & angle of the grip being a big contributing factor. The overall weight distribution and balance of the pistol affects things as well. As you mentioned, some people complain about the bore axis height of Sigs, but a 1911 has the same bore axis height, and when was the last time you heard anyone complaining about "bore axis" on a 1911?

Caliber of course is also a factor. Unless we're talking about a micro/sub-compact, I don't think there's much reason to find any 9mm pistol to be unmanageably "flippy," assuming the shooter is gripping the gun properly. If we're talking about .45 ACP or 10mm? Then yes, expect more muzzle rise (and use proper technique to mitigate it). Some of the"bore axis" drama is simply the Indian, not the arrow.

Oh, I definitely agree. I find I'm sometimes amused and sometimes annoyed at YT gun experts who have their own range and enough $ to buy and shoot ammo like water and spray bullets out just as fast, stating 'facts' as to why a buyer should completely avoid on design A, '...this design sucks b/c of its high bore axis...'
Ive also caught them saying they'd never carry or routinely shoot design A b/c it's NOT drop safe.
But the same dude admits their favorite and very expensive $3200 (and MUCH more expensive) race gun 2011s and custom 1911s are also not drop safe, but, he's, "okay with it because none of mine (his) have ever given me (him) any ADs.'

roughly the same as a lot of the knife you-tubers do.
