I took the gun to Cabela's for repair on August 13th, and it was available for pickup on September 1st. Issue is fixed, but no communication about what was wrong. Upon getting it back I went straight to the range and fired 67 rounds. All rounds fed properly now, but the slide failed to return...

Thanks guys. After getting home last night I was too tired to mess with my gun, and today I received word from Taurus that I'll get my other gun back tomorrow. So time is no longer a factor and I'll be taking advantage of Cabella's free shipping offer for the warranty work. I'll bump the thread...

Never did anything with the mainspring housing - I just removed the slide, barrel, recoil spring, etc. I'm sure they test fired it, it was working fine for ~150 shots, then stopped working. I feel spring resistance while I pull the hammer back, from start until it hits the beavertail. The...

Correct - I can pull the hammer back and the safety is still blocked. The hammer has spring tension pulling it forward like it's supposed to, but it doesn't catch for either cock or half-cock positions. Thank you for the dvd recommendation.

Do they do this? I looked on their web site and it said they don't accept returns on firearms. I called them earlier and the guy said to bring it down and they'd pay the shipping out to CZ for repair work, I didn't ask him about returning/exchanging though. I see this other thread where a guy...

The safety doesn't engage even if I pull the hammer back. I was wrong when I said the rod was about half an inch long, it's about a quarter inch mabye. Here's a picture - second picture has the rod circled. edit: Rod was just the ejector as Eddie mentioned (felt stupid when I did a field...

Hi, I just bought a new 1911 yesterday from Cabela's. It's a Dan Wesson V-Bob. I shot it today for the first time, and had some trouble. First it was failing to feed the last round in the mags it came with. It fed them properly maybe 1/3 of the time. Not a big deal, as I have plenty of other...

Handguns: .45 acp .357 magnum / .38 special .380 acp Used to have 9mm Rifles: .223 Remington .177 pellet

5" 1911 IWB year round. In the summer I may just be wearing a pair of pants/shorts and a single t-shirt (cotton or polyester, never tucked in), and it's still no problem.

Are you sure about that? Why would a federal law have a clause to honor Arizona CCW permits? In Washington, we are exempt from a waiting period for handguns if we have a concealed pistol license, but the waiting period is a state law.

In my apartment, it's immediate (there's almost always cops in the parking lot). At my work, I've never had to call, and at my job before that (in downtown Seattle) it was usually around 2 minutes from the time I hung up to the time the police arrived (I called quite a lot because I was a...

So what? I would have no problem being photographed by someone dressed as a terrorist at a Halloween party, either.

Well, now you're assuming we all have the same purpose in mind - That's simply not the case. If I were the one to decide the metric for definitions, I'd leave it to the thread starter. By reading that first post, I don't think legal regulations ever crossed his mind, so I'd say that source is...

You guys are having difficulty because you are simultaneously arguing about what to designate as pistol and revolver based on their definitions, and also arguing about what the definitions are. And in this argument about definitions, you are also arguing about what makes definitions correct...

SomeKid - You said that if it was public urination, the shooter should fry... It wasn't that. You said if it was doing things to kids, they deserved it... That's what it was. A partial quote isn't a misquote if it doesn't obscure the meaning of the original quote - he was probably just...
