I usually find parts like that ................ after I purchased the replacement part.
Boing! Bounce bounce thunk......
I took the slide apart this morning on my new to me P380. I was being real careful while struggling with that back plate, been through it with my CM40. But, that plunger must have gone right through my thumb, hit the ceiling, hit to the right or me, and a little thunk. Looked for a minute or two, but I knew it was gone. Imagine you law mower shed, that's my kitchen. So I just wrote it off and planned on ordering another one, sat back at the table, looked to my right and this thing is sitting on my open sugar testing kit, nice felt lining, and it's just sitting there. [email protected]#$ing amazing. Through the last 6 or so years, lots of things have gone flying in my kitchen, and I've found every one of them. Just amazing.

One day in my garage I managed to launch the guide rod from my 92FS past my ear. The spring went with it but I found it easily. The rod, however, eluded me for a while and I gave up and went inside and ordered one from the Beretta web site. Went back out to the garage and there it was, sitting in my driveway.
Good grief.

I used to launch 1911 barrel bushing plugs all the time until I got a bushing wrench. When I got one, it was only about 4 bucks and wow, what a difference. :smile5:
I was watching a YouTube of how to tear down a BG 380 here at my desk. There was no caution about the spring going airborne. It did, and I started looking for the rod.One day in my garage I managed to launch the guide rod from my 92FS past my ear. The spring went with it but I found it easily.

It was on the floor but I have a lot of stuff down there and I kept missing it because I thought it was a nail.
Doing these can save time when chasing parts.
1. Have a place for everything and keep everything in its place.
2. Clean the workbench after every job.
3. Sweep the floor after every job.
4 Have a lid for the trashcan. Keep it closed.
5. Often, a magnet can help in finding 'lost' parts.

I think sweeping the floor BEFORE the job would prove to me more helpful.
If the floor and workbench were cleaned after the previous job they will already be be clean before starting the next job.I think sweeping the floor BEFORE the job would prove to me more helpful.
As long as you don't have a cat that sheds a pound of fur a month.
Oh, sure. Do the SMART thing. :wink:Doing these can save time when chasing parts.

Take the damn thing apart inside a gallon or larger ziploc bag so when things go flying, they all stay inside
Well i would be lying if i said i never had parts go flying like that. I work in my basement so there are lots of places for small parts to end up but I've been lucky and always found them...i think. Several weeks ago i was helping a buddy put a AR together and had the detent go flying front the front take down pin. I heard that thing hit at least 3 things as it went flying. Looked around for a few minutes and couldn't find it and remembered i had another in my parts box. As soon as i got it out i seen the other just laying there on my bench 4 inches from the lower. Silly me being i was looking all over the floor.
I use one of those telescopic magnet I got from... you know where, don't have to crawl on all 4's
