A friend was wondering if anyone keeps an inventory of spare parts for their pistols.
Now that he has a decent selection of pistols, mostly Sig 228, 229 in 9mm and 220 in .45 and also a few older S&W 1911 in. .45, he is looking to stock up on parts to keep these items in service not just for now, but for his sons, and possibly for generations to come. These pistols are not safe queens and are all fired at least a few hundred rounds a year. He is looking for some measure of self sufficiency in the event that "something happens" politically and parts become hard-to-come-by.
My friend has a good stock of a variety of factory ammunition, a decent stock of components to reload, and a well-tuned Dillon 550. He also has a number of spare parts for the 550. He is just looking to be sure that a worn or broken part does not render a pistol inoperative, and selected pistols from manufacturers that already share a number of common parts.
Any ideas? Is this overkill? As always thank you for your suggestions.
