Had a small mass cut out of my left kidney. This 6 weeks after I had a much larger mass cut out of my right one. Everything looks good. Surgeons thing they got it all. It was cancer. I guess I'll be getting periodic CT scans for the rest of my life, but I'm still kicking.
But I did manage to get to the range in between operations!
Good to hear they got it all and hope you heal quickly. I had my prostate removed for the same reason four years back.
Get well soon Gandog!
Good to hear!
gandog56, by the grace and blessings from our good lord, may he grant you physical healing! Amen!
Hopefully they got it all early enough! Cancer is such an aggressive disease, I just learned two of my cousins wives were diagnosed, and totally consumed with this horrible disease...we are praying for them as well!
Get well soon!
So glad to hear you're doing better.
lots of prayer and best wishes,

Keeping you in our thoughts for a speedy recovery and, hopefully, total future avoidance of the disease. Good luck!
We'll keep sending prayers your way.
I feel a whole lot better from this one than my first one. Makes sense though, they did the bigger mass first.
ganddog, I sent you a couple of PMs about the RIA take down, hope that helps...

Yep, I saw them, then proceeded to break off the bend in the paperclip and lodged it in the hole. Trying to figure out what I got that will poke that piece of paperclip out at a 90 bend.
Oh my! You might have to compress the spring inside the recoil rod, holding it where the piece can fall out or use a magnet to help it come out... The spring is putting pressure on the piece of paper clip not letting it drop free. By compressing the spring it should drop out enough to grab it or fall out hopefully...
QuoteInsert a disassembly tool into the hole (a bent paper clip will do in a pinch) to restrain the recoil assembly.
While holding the slide in place, release the slide catch. Slowly move the slide forward until the notches line up, and then remove the slide catch. Push the slide forward and off of the frame. Remove the captured recoil assembly by pushing it back toward the barrel chamber. Extract the barrel from the slide by pulling it forward out of the slide.
Dismantling the restrained recoil assembly for cleaning is accomplished by using the empty slide as a tool. Re-insert the recoil assembly into the slide in the same position it was in before. Press the assembly forward against the slide to relieve the pressure on the disassembly tool, remove the tool from the rod and then slowly guide the spring and rod out of the slide. When reassembling the pistol, the heavy recoil spring will require a solid and steady application of pressure to press the guide rod back into place so the disassembly tool can be replaced in the hole drilled through the rod. This process is not as difficult as it may sound, but it needs to be done carefully to prevent parts from flying across the room.

Good luck!
Nah, the piece what broke off is just in the hole. The gun still shoots.
Is the hole in the guide rod through and through? I could see where that would only allow access from one side.
It would bug me not to get that little piece out...looking at the last picture the outer plug, recoil rod and spring can be separated to get to it.
Shooting that thing may actually through the piece of paper clip out! :o
Glad to hear they got it all
Get back on your feet soon Gdog
