So, simply cardboard mock-ups?  For training purposes only?

You're not supposed to eat them.

The shape should have been a clue: they're suppositories!   :shake:

   I'll be throwing some "homemade" 9mm polymers at CQ steel this afternoon with a 1989 German p226 I picked up.
Needed a new bbl which was hard to find as well as a de-cocker spring and de-cocker bushing.
Spring broke on last  outing and when I dropped the mag, the bushing fell into tall grass. :grrr:
Figure I needed the bbl as neither one of us were consistent or on target even from bench rest.  :wacko:

Awesome.  Video :hmm:

Was the spring issue with the P226?  Interesting because was at the range with a guy whose P22X  had a pin come out that secured a spring that shutdown the pistol.  Luckily we were able to find the pin and he was able to put it back and get the gun shooting again.

My spring (part # 1202975_R,  Decocking Lever Spring , P Series) broke about mid point.
It was not attached to a "pin" per say, but rather a plate (Part #Bearing -1,  Bearing, Decocking Lever) in the mag well area that had a  notched post going through grip frame.
One end of semi-circular spring was inserted in Decocker and with tension applied, the other end was placed in notch of Decocking Bearing notch.

Wow, very detailed.  I'm not a tinkerer so I don't really get into smaller parts very much.  I know stuff happens and I had something happen with the FCG in my HK USP Compact (my first gun) and had to send the gun back to HK.  I was expecting the gun to be gone for a while since HK had a history of concentrating on the LE/.mil needs and putting consumer stuff on the side, but I got a call from one of their gunsmiths a few days later and had the gun back in hand about a week after that.   :thumbsup:
