[QUOTE="jeb405, post: 2284333, member: 78163"] On the subject of shipping handguns I have my FFL ship them for me, usually $30-35 without insurance, much cheaper than the other options available to non-dealers usually. I'm not sure what amount of DIY you are comfortable with but before I would spend the money to send to a gunsmith I would put in new factory or Wolff recoil springs, maybe hammer/striker spring as well (Google is your friend for how). And a brand new factory or Mec-gar magazine. Springs don't always age well and they are cheap. As stated by others, also make sure very clean. I think you will have a hard time finding a big name gunsmith to do this work, most are overbooked with big dollar custom work and many won't touch repairs or small jobs. You might want to look for a local gunsmith, even at a big gun store in your area. Or contact Glock and Ruger directly if you are ok with timing and cost to ship. JB [/QUOTE]
