I find it slightly troublesome in the manner of a Ruger MK but doable. Just breath and stay calm. I'm half left and half right handed. That helps sometimes and others, hurts.

I usually try to hold the trigger back with my left thumb, left forefinger on the hammer spur. I use my right hand to steer and forward the lower tang. My variable is the pin that holds the hammer on. I fumble with it some but usually a tiny dab of cold bearing grease holds it in place.

Yes, I have to do it at least once more after my whirlwind slick and stock job I did on my oldie.

Yes, I'll likely take a shot at the gate. Never messed with it before. It and the guides (that need nothing yet I can tell) are the only items I left as is.

Gas,

If your gun is NOT flipping a round out the top sometimes, and it feeds the longest OAL that you use. Then dont mess with the guides, they are doing what they ought to do.

It's not doing that and I haven't seen any need to mess with them.

I was just stating I fooled around with pretty much everything else.

quick update... one of the things i did was to paint the front of the mag follower a florescent green so it would stand out when checking the gun for rounds in the mag. that didn't work out well at all. the paint chipped off quickly and i had to wash all the bits out and re-lube the action. all better now, but i wouldn't recommend painting the mag follower.

Good ideas in theory don't always work out practically.
