  1. Nevermind they cleaned up the story with some details and better english, it was awful this morning, borderline incomprehensible.
  2. I got the nano that I had already tested a bit, a strange chess puzzle game/solitaire, and skyrim! Also a few gift cards at sportsmans warehouse, and some diet-breaking treats.

    The 60s was a reference to the automag production. After being produced, anyone after that could use it in a movie... if the gun was made in the late 60s/ early 70s then a mid 70s movie with one is not too far off.

    It is confusing. Best I can tell there was an automag company, and a line of similar pistols by AMT with the automag name. They are all related somehow but I do not know. All this was before I was born, in the late 60s. Good job on the fast turnaround, congrats on your profits.
  5. A basic kit + 3 in 1 oil, rem oil spray, a dowel rod (its just easier sometimes than screwing together all the rods and adapters), q tips, paper towels, hoppes 9, several treated rags (silicone? I forget, they are old), and a jewelers flathead screwdriver that can pull the gunk out from under the extractor claws. I have some sort of grease but I forget what.

    I would take the risk if it were me. Its a collectors item, even if not the best gun ever made. It will very likely sell in short order for a decent price. There are not many of them and there are fans and collectors. So long as it is in good shape, you should be fine, maybe even come out ahead. If it has been beat up, pass on it, you want not quite but close to LNIB condition to stir the collectors, preferable with box and all that stuff.
  7. I cannot. Honestly I do not think the lcp can even BE rapid fired... your friend must be able to pick up like 50 pounds with his trigger finger to do that. The only small gun I could do 3 inches with is my makarov, which has had some trigger mods & is scary accurate. I can keep that one in the black of a 25 yard NRA target at 25 (slowfire target). And I can do it with large frame guns, but that is not really too difficult.
  8. Welcome! I can help you with the cleveland range, or take you a time or 2 as a guest or something. The time to join it is NOW: they charge you 1 year starting jan 1 and if you pay in the summer after thinking about it, you still pay for a whole year. A year is very cheap, though, just your NRA membership (have proof) + a small fee. Toss me a PM if you want to know more.
  9. Must go to chattanooga. I have seen quite a few of the PMRs this last year at a few different places including a gun show, a big store, and a small store.
  10. Yes, because some triggers are long, heavy, sloppy, or otherwise just hard to use. Excessive force and long pulls mess up aiming, as you flex and move more muscle to do the job. Also yes, because on the other side a trigger job that takes no movement and .3 pounds of force will have someone not used to such guns shooting by accident while still in the process of aiming, and takes a while to learn fine control. I do not know of many average folks who could pick up both a DA revolver and shoot equally nice, tight groups at say 25 yards, once with the DA pull and then again cocking it each time for a SA pull. Maybe a few folks can, but not many.
  11. Plenty of new guns are a little off. Ignore up/down until you find ammo and a distance that you like but left/right can be tweaked if you are sure it is off. Most often, fixed sights are pretty darn close and adjustables can be all over the place. I do not know if some companies even bother to sight in adjustable sight guns, the last 3 or 4 that I have bought with them were inches off at a just 15 or 20 yards.
  12. I have played with a similar system, they are pretty cool. The specifics are not open to the public so you are unlikely to find out details... the tech has been around for a while, so its past due for major crime ghettos like new york to have em.
  13. The s&w are a good gun, a little hard with recoil and long triggers though, be sure to shoot one with REAL ammo before you buy it. They certainly won't jam easily and are well designed carry guns. I prefer a real 357 so I can choose the load for it rather than the 38s, but its a trade off on weight and size and all that. If you want "stopping power" (whatever that is), the 357 choices have more "physics" (this is something that can be measured exactly) than 38s and will shoot a 38 if you want to lighten up. If you liked the taurus, and its been good for many rounds, get it looked at. Could just be worn magazines, esp if you drop them when you practice reloads, that can bang up the lips and cause all sorts of problems. Or if shot a LOT you could need new springs. If its a low round count troublemaker, trade it in.
  14. some of the parody tunes are better than the originals. An old gamer, I have found myself singing the "roll a d6" parody, and I had never heard the original song.
  15. if you use something like firefox you maybe turned on private browsing by accident. You may have a third party program that cleans up for you every so often, for example a malware or spyware virus protection could have decided that this site is a problem. Maybe you setup something like ccleaner to run too often. Those are the sorts of things that cause this. It could even be a less obvious setting such as "only use 100 MB for web data" and when that cache is full, it deletes things based off some logic.
  16. I would think it could be "hotwired" somehow, before destroying the thing physically. A working pad of the correct type would be awesome but even without it its just a circuit, and someone out there, you can bet, knows how to pop the lock by bridging a wire or 10.
  17. I would be very, very concerned if someone were picking off people from that range on purpose! Accident, maybe, still willing to bet there was a finger on a trigger. Tragic, very.
  18. doh. ok!
  19. The recoil is not too bad. Probably less than the pf9 as the gun is a bit heavy for its size, or seems to be. The grip would be a problem for someone with very large hands, it does not bother me at all. I expect extended grip mags within a year, no one has said anything but it really, really needs that option. IDPA is training, of sorts. You learn reloads and speed, cover, as you said. You also learn bad habits, such as rushing in and killing everything in sight and likely getting your stupid ass shot off for your troubles, if you did that for real. The game is all about rushing in and taking the fight to your multiple armed enemy.... with a pistol.
  20. The new beretta nano is a lot like your pf9 and the mag release is reversible. Its exactly what you are asking for. I hate the trigger, its more like a DAO than a striker so far (still breaking it in), but you should give it a long hard look from what you are saying here. If you are near chattanooga, the sportsmans warehouse has them in 2s and 3s every week or so, and if you came down you could look at mine. It only holds 6 in the mags so its not optimal for winning IDPA, but with 3 or 4 mags you could certainly use it for both the regular and probably the BUG matches. I am a lefty and I recommend it... no slide release to worry about, no safety, the only control is the reversible mag drop and YOU can do that without a gunsmith.
  21. the taurus 709 we had was fine, and DA instead of DAO, reliable and small and inexpensive. Taurus in general has a bad rep lately but there was nothing wrong with the one we had. It never made a jagged hole group even at 15 yards but it never malfunctioned or gave any sort of trouble either. One of the best DA guns in that size category, IMHO.
  22. bisley is hard to find grips for, I wish mine were NOT. I shoot a 44 blackhawk and 357, both are excellent, the 357 is one of the first ones they made I think, 3 screw model. What I love about them are the triggers, so perfect. Makes me want to throw most of my semi autos in the trash, even makes my 1911s seem sloppy.

    I wanted an automag 44 as well for years as a teenager. My desert eagle has filled the void nicely though, still $$$ but it works and uses actual 44 mag ammo, which the amt did not (it shoots an oddball 44 cartridge, not a 44 mag).
  24. 20 is young enough to do something rash, I would rather have had another 10 years of the known, but stable, situation. Sigh, the most likely outcome I see is MORE of my tax dollars sent to some other country to accomplish nothing.

    It should sell, but can you get full value for it? I dunno .... depends on how much you valued your tires. I bet the automag is easier to turn into cash than the tires, but thats just a guess it depends on the tires too...
