As some of you may know, I have a Beretta Stampede 45LC. (the one in the coffin)

I was not able to shoot it at the ZRT shoot due to the pistol having an issue with not keeping the cylinder locked when the hammer is back.
I took it upon myself to see if I could find the problem. (I am a mechanic by trade, and have never been afraid to dive right in and solve a mechanical issue)
As it turns out, it had a broken trigger bolt spring. I went on an on-line search for parts, and found VTI Gun Parts in CT. They deal in replica gun parts. I was greeted with a live pleasent person. (no computer "press one for English" bullshit) She was very helpfull, and even recommended a better stronger part for my gun. The transaction went very smoothly, and I can expect my part in 3 to 10 days as they just ship parts via US mail.
