A quick reload, single shot Derringer is not my idea of a good defensive firearm, especially since it's supposed to be an auto-loader. Worse, after warranty service, is distressing, you'd think they'd have the higher skill level gunsmiths in that department. You may have a lemon. Keep returning it on their dime, or be the squeaky wheel, and they may replace it. Its worth zero as is, so work Taurus' Warranty for Life. Side note, have 2 acquaintances with excellent reliability from other Taurus models.

Buy new or different or improve what you got. Stock Glocks run, improved Glocks need testing, just like any improved firearm. 100% increase over the initial investment may seem crazy, but that's what 2 and soon 3 of my CZs will represent. Being thrifty, I like the option of improve what you got.

Welcome!

Mac is on to something, I think the reason for the backdoor is the elites of these Centers of Higher Learning want the "right" names on buildings and grants. Movie stars, fashion designers, and the noveau riche need not apply.

Exactly, rich AND famous. Elites have been doing openly for years, going through the front door with grants and donations.

Well, coupled with the trillion dollars student loan debt, it appears those sheepskins have been cheapened for years. https://www.npr.org/2019/03/12/702539140/u-s-accuses-actresses-others-of-fraud-in-wide-college-admissions-scandal Years, because I'm cynical and these are the only ones who got caught.

Hakan Pek (Google Fu) are thin wood, the OEM plastics are about the smallest overall even with the slight palm swell. I like the rubber grips, but they are the most bulky in my opinion To ease the first DA pull, I carry both my DA/SA at half cock which is the same resting position after engaging the decocker on my SDP. Maybe aluminum panels, they're pretty thin. You can also shorten the reach and reset on non-Omega models with Cajun Gun Works or CZ Custom (only two I've used)

What would have happened if it wasn't a blow back? Still amazed the back pressure didn't do any damage to the bolt, stock or receiver cover. https://www.guns.com/news/2019/03/07/hi-point-warranty-center-finds-carbine-barrel-stuffed-with-35-bullets Unfortunately, it adds to the stereo-type that folks who buy budget price points have less than budget knowledge and skill.

Gemini Customs did a great job on my SP101

The TriStar aspires to be CZexy. I recently learned the 75B is one of the most copied pistols on the market, something to due with a lack of copyright. Having started with CZ, I never really looked at any of the alternates. If mags and some parts are compatible, I see no reason to not to save a few dollars. A $150-$200 savings = training and ammo Fall in love with the platform and want to make it better, you will more than likely have to buy a CZ for custom gunsmithing and parts for DIY projects.

I've been happy with the CLP I buy at Walmart, the foaming action works well. Then just use good old gun grease on the rails and lugs though I just bought a small tube of tetra Grease based on a recommendation. With all the magic products, I gave up on finding the best

ID and cyber theft is a multi billion dollar industry and while I trust all of you, SW brings up a good point, how will you secure my personal info?

If buyer/seller is down with a BOS, it reduces the odds of a prohibited transfer. An illegal operator won't create one as the seller and not want to sign as a buyer, unless this is their standard business operating procedure. I like it for an unknown buyer or seller. For well known or known to others, I don't require it.
