"Why did this 12-bore (12-gauge) cartridge misfire Worn or Misaligned Firing Pin: Firing pin tip wears unevenly Retaining pin or bushing wears out Result: The pin hits the primer at an angle or off-axis losing impact energy. Weak hammer (mainspring): When the spring loses tension the firing pin does not strike the primer with sufficient force resulting in light or inconsistent primer strikes. Replacing the spring usually resolves the issue permanently. Repeated dry firing without a cartridge can also damage the firing pin and affect alignment.

"Cant stress enough how important it is for Indian arms manufacturers like @SSSDefence to license their firearms to major video games especially military simulators such as ARMA Squad and even mainstream franchises like Battlefield. These games reach a highly engaged global audience. Having Indian-made weapons accurately modelled and named would significantly boost international visibility and brand recognition among defence enthusiasts and professionals. In todays world video games arent just entertainment. Theyre powerful tools for marketing and long-term brand influence."

"Love the imagination Sankalan. Why dont we take this a step further and do this once again in Indian context (since you know IndiaGuns). The Colt .32 Pocket Positive from the 1970s was a compact easy-to-carry revolver with mild recoil but limited stopping power. For a private investigator in India access to 919mm is realistically off the table. What affordable commonly available options would he realistically have .22 LR ❌(PI needs better stopping power) [------] ❌(Extreme over-penetration) .45 ACP ❌(Impractical for concealment) .32 ACP ✅ .32 S&W Long ✅ .380 ACP ✅ All three offer adequate"

"Once you go God's caliber you cant downgrade from divine. There's going to be double stack options in the Indian market this year which translates to higher capacity. There are a few 1911-pattern handguns chambered in .30 (7.62X25) floating around the Indian market right now. So that lane does exist. on .22 LR: agreed completely. If one can look past the mans ego .22 LR is a solid practical handgun choice. There are already some very solid .22 LR pistol options available in India and from what the market trend suggests its only going to get better this year and next."

"👉 You'll be surprised the price at which .45 ACP 1911s begin in the market currently in India. I assure you it's not as hard on the wallet as it used to be. 👉 If you can manage recoil and fundamentals all you need is just solid technique and practice. 👉 No comments. Ill have to add a disclaimer to this post since the discussion has shifted toward arms licensing.

"Lets just agree to disagree shall we Thats the beauty of a civil discussion. Before we part ways Id like to add that bringing 919mm Parabellum into the comparison isnt really fair in the Indian context. Not only does that venture into a service caliber discussion but its also a prohibited off-limits round which makes the comparison largely academic and pointless. I may come across as random fanboy to you but what Im saying comes from hands-on experience not theory. Wishing you nothing but the best Doctor"
