You one of those people working on the 5G brain probing systems?

I've always read that some mags need a break in period. I've had a few 22 mags that needed "adjustment". The one 9mm I own if fine so far except Hornady Critical Defense. It refuses to feed the first round even downloading the mags. But if you're having trouble with FMJ there might be an issue the manufacturer should see.

Your first statement holds a lot of weight. In my own opinion, you should stick with a single action or DAO at this point and master one before going to SA/DA whether it be hammer or striker fired. The switch between first round DA and second SA is a skill requiring a lot of practice. A note on your reholster method, Rule #1, treat every firearm as if it is loaded. I wouldn't reholster without engaging the safety or decocking the pistol. I own a couple of striker fired pistols but prefer hammer fired myself and for competition I'd choose SA hammer fired every day.

IIRC, this brought about the New York trigger from Glock.

It is true that unscrupulous, liberal media and lawyers will try to attack modified arms. Along with cutesey warning signs, hi cap magazines (whatever those are), hollow point ammo, etc. The conclusion to carry a purely factory stock sidearm is a good idea also if you can accomplish that. I have one. the only thing I could wish for is less weight. Picking a carry pistol is a long process and doing so on a budget is nearly impossible. The argument could be made against full and semi custom pistols such as Wilson or Les Baer also. But that is an antiquated thought process as we have learned over the last 40 years how to dispel the wrongful thinking of these attacks. Lighter, cleaner triggers improve accuracy and reduce the risk to innocent bystanders as an example. As do better sights. Hollow points are designed to reduce over penetration. Any modification to enhance durability, reliability, accuracy, and survivability should be considered mandatory. One can also justify aesthetic upgrades as making other people less apprehensive. After all, black guns are scary. No one is out there building Fitz Specials anymore. Remember, we are trying to survive, we all know there will be another fight in the courts. Unless you're in Sheriff Grady's county. I stand by the adage "better to be judged by twelve than carried by six". Evry gun owner should spend as much or more time studying firearms, especially our own, as shooting and maintaining them. Study not only how everything works but what the laws and judgements are. Learn the political climate of the area in which one resides. Learn, practice, maintain. And I do own a Taurus PT111 Millenium G2. Bought it because it was a great deal and filled the empty 9mm slot. The Taurus 111/G2/G3 lines have deficiencies that could show up and are remedied easily by replacing plastic parts with steel. Nothing wrong there. Mine isn't carried at this point for two reasons unrelated to reliability. 1 I haven't finished the holster for it. 2 I hate the trigger, the pull is too long and it bites my finger. So yes, it will get an aftermarket trigger.

There were several warehouses empty in the Samsonite area west of South Church. I don't know of any venues here in Shelbyville but I'll check it out.

I don't have experience with compd pistols but I do have two factory ported handguns. One is an 8 round 357 mag revolver and I will say it is much more pleasant to shoot. The other is an alloy framed full size 45 ACP and it does have less muzzle flip than my govmnt model. I'd hate to shoot the 357 in low light though. I agree with the thought of not losing an inch of barrel length and the attending velocity since carry guns have short barrels anyway and velocity is a huge factor in expanding ammo.

Except those low profile light bars look like roof racks from the front anyway

I did check and Remington DriLube is still available from several online sources. WallyWorld doesn't have it in store any longer at least here. I liked it for my EDC because it didn't attract dust like a wet oil does. It never got gummy sitting either. Guess I'll have to add it to my next amazon order.

I use RemOil but I am not fond of it at all. It gets gummy over time. I prefer Break Free CLP and will use Hoppe's solvent when needed. I used to use a dry spray that I really liked but haven't seen it on the market in years. May have been a Remington product I do not recall.

My condolences. Glad you know where they were headed. So glad that I can know where I'm going. as @res308 said, I can't imagine how people can go through this life without him. This world is not my home, I'm only passing through.

Very versatile. Blue or SS?

I've owned a Taurus 85 as well as a 650. both in polished stainless. Wish I still had the 85 but the DAO on the 650 was not great. Plan to add a 605 to go with my 608 for those days when I just want something really heavy.

Beautiful set. When I get over being broke, do you do requests?

I had to look this one up. People are really THAT stupid.
