The Ortgies is the most annoying pistol I've ever owned! If you haven't taken it apart yet, I warn you to have it in a containment (bag or blanket) when you lift the slide off, because the striker spring will eject itself and the guide rod with considerable force. Getting it back together is tricky, too. I finally drilled a little hole in the grip safety so I could insert a paper-clip to pin it in the "safe" position while refitting the slide. And the "detent" in the slide that's supposed to hold the spring and guide rod during re-assembly doesn't work worth a darn in mine.
