  1. Same here. I currently own 7 Taurus products from a Model 85 revolver to a stainlessPT1911. I've had not a single problem with any of them. In fact I've bought and sold probably a dozen more in the last ten years, and the worst thing I can say about any of them is that I didn't like the hiene sights on several of them and had a PT111 that had too long a trigger pull to suit me. YMMV
  2. We each have our preferences, I know. But...I really, really prefer Novak 3-dot. Even the dreaded stock glock sights. But heines can kiss my heine.
  3. Cap and Dolomite, thanks for the advice. I'm new to this as well. Waiting on my papers to come back from the Chief and then the lonnnnggg wait. But I'm trying to warch and listen in on all related topics to get a head start on preventing issues.
  4. Thanks, rebeldrummer.
  5. If these are still moving, I'd like to get in on it as well. There was a reference to a Taurus 40 mag sometime back. I think it said for a PT100(?). I'd really like that. And have several items to add holsters(not sure what they fit), a couple of magazines if I can find the CZ box, etc. Just Pm me for address if its still moving.

    My first Glock

    As the owner of a 19,22, and a 30; let me say--Welcome to the crowd. It probably won't be your last.
  7. Very interesting looking. I predict that I will look far and wide to see one for myself. Waffle over it and then probably walk away, thinking " I have too may 1911's to bite this early on another...But maybe later..."
  8. I've heard of them, but never seen or had hands on one. But I'd say it would be an interesting weapon. In fact, just the other day my brother-in-law and I were talking and he mentioned the possibility of doing one in 45acp. That would get my attention...quickly.
  9. Now...That Is Beautiful!!
  10. I bought a CZ Rami early last year and have put about 200 rounds downrange with it. Personally, I like it. Very accurate, smaller than a Glock 19, and maybe a touch more felt recoil than the G19. It is about the same width as the glock, but shorter in length and height. If you have small-to medium hands, its a real good fit. For larger hands, its a bit small. Haven't shot enough to say it would be a great carry gun, but I would consider it with further use and getting used to it. With its size, I prefer a owb holster/belt slide, but that's just me.
  11. To use a line I've already posted...First sensible comment I've seen. Yeah, I know... good snakes, bad snakes, etc... But I'm not stopping long enough to ask.
  12. First sensible line I've seen here.
  13. All too true...but nonetheless, funny.
  14. I'm going to just have to be in the area to see this!!!
  15. Looks goog to me. Now go shoot some more.
  16. I don't think there is any size difference between the two. I have several Taurus pistols (PT 145 Pro and PT140 Pro, as well as Millinium Pro series 45) and can't see any visible difference. You might try the Taurus Manufacturing site for specs and check this out. Also the sites TaurusArmed.net and TaurusTalk. Both are good sources of info on the Taurus product line.
  17. Couldn't have said it any better. Amen

    MGI firearms

    Yes, a very interesting idea. Looks good in principle, but is it workable in real-world situations? And the cost factor comes into play...componet parts aren't cheap by any means. I'm not very knowledgable on the AR parts yet, but it looks like close to the cost of entry level complete rifles for the necessary parts to change calibers. But still a neat looking package system. I'd like to see one and check it out.

    S&W revolver crazy

    Really good price. I just bought a 686 and I won't tell you what I paid for it, but it wasn't anywhere near that good. BTW...beautiful gun.
  20. I hate you all. Still on Level 8. Can't seem to shoot over 54%. Wrist and hand giving me fits with carpel tunnel and this has to show up. Dang...I'll never heal now.
  21. I wonder if the bracelets would work on carpel tunnel pain? I sure could use a little aid there.
  22. Unless you've got good help in building one, I'd suggest buying your first AR. Learn all you can about it. Then try for a build the way you think you want. No, I didn't stay at a Holiday Inn last night, but advice from a complete novice just getting into the rifle game. Got my first one recently from brother-in-law. Don't regret buying the first, probably saved a lot of money, time, frustation, and headaches. JMO
  23. My heavens man, have you been injured for that long????
  24. Weather, Wife, and flowerbeds permitting; I'm going. Got a M&P to trade or sell and I've had a little success there before.
