I didn't like the idea of clamping the pistol down myself , I wanted to make every effort I could to elliminate me because I know the human is usually the majority of the problem in this area.The vice is a portable rifle vice so it did move when the gun went off so it wasn't locked in solid.
I was looking at those undersize bushings, Briley has a list of different sizes to pick one out that is .001 over the barrel dia. and they have a spherical brass insert,I think that takes care of the tilting barrel.The outside is considered oversize, but if my slide is on the big side it may fitas is, if not I'll have to take it to work and turn the O.D. down to fit my slide.
The trigger is pretty good as is.It ig tight and breaks clean and crisp at maybe 4lbs. It wouldn't hurt if it was 1.5lb lighter in my opinion,I'm used to 3/4 to 1lb triggers on my benchrest rifles, so careful trigger finger control is habitual to me.
