I don't believe I saw my wife's agency. Toledo, Oh, city police. She was issued a 40 cal Sig 226. She says they do allow the smaller Sigs now, but she doesn't know the model numbers. TPD moved up from the 9mm Sig 226s a few years ago. edison

Unfortunately, yes. I had a pistol slip out of a "generic" horizontal shoulder holster. I thought the thumb strap would hold the pistol in even though the holster was designed for larger pistols. (learned a good lesson there) Somehow, after I had completed about a mile of my daily walk I...

Yes, picked up several boxes of Blazer Brass at $8.97 at different Walmarts here in the Toledo area. Also found 9 at one of the local Dick's Sporting Goods. I've even found 45 and ***380*** recently at traditional box store prices (none of that inflated gunshow pricing). Have so much on...

My IWB is a Don Hume 715 for my BT350. High Noon Holsters also produces a model just for the Bersa. Probably not a big stretch since it already produced a model for the PPK. But again, those are leather and Sato Ord is a Kydex fan. If you are looking to make another purchase, Sato, you...

To Sato Ord: In response to the holster issue, and I may have missed someone else making this point, the trigger guard on this weapon is longer, and pointed than the PPK, so the holsters aren't interchangeable. However, a little work with a file and dremel should fix most of that problem...

Boy did this resurrect an old thread. :) I have three (actually two Bersas and one FireStorm). Probably my second-most carried pistol (behind my P3AT). If you going to shoot the pistols, there's no comparison, the KT is just uncomfortable to shoot because of its light weight. The Bersa, on...

Did Taurus raise prices significantly on this model lately? I picked up a PT1911 at my local gun shop more than a month ago for just over the $500 mark. I realize this is higher than I've seen advertised, but this way there were no FFL fees or hassles, and I got to support a local vendor I...

Can't speak on removing the mark, but don't feel alone. It's a 1911 thing. A rite of passage. Only happened on my first 1911. Once you get the knack of snapping it back in you wonder what all the fuss was about. Now getting the recoil spring in the first time was more fun than a barrel of...

Tuner wrote: The problem with the 8-round magazines equipped with the Devel folded follower is that it's not stable front to rear, and doesn't promote keeping the round properly oriented. If the feed ramp angle is at or close to minimum spec...or even a little out...the round hits the barrel...

Tuner wrote: 3-Point Jam...aka "Stem Bind" is a possibility. If the bullet nose strikes the barrel ramp instead of gliding over the top corner, it produces a hard stem bind. When you load the chamber from slidelock on a topped-off magazine... do you hear a "ka-chunk" sound? That's the bullet...

Big sigh! Even Walmart prices aren't that good on anything other than 9mm. My wallet almost floated away after buying a couple boxes of 45 cal WWB last week. The one hundred round pack of 9mm WWB is still around $12 bucks, but I spent more than $20/box for 45 cal. I haven't even seen any...

Remember too, SSN, that Taurus took a long time to finally release its 1911. The company can't afford to release a clunker. Nearly every day there's a thread on this forum about Taurus quality. I have no connection to the Taurus marketing department, but it's obvious Taurus also exploits...

Cocked and Locked that's one gorgeous RIA. But remember, no one pimps a gun like Taurus. :) Right now the product is conservative - probably so as not to offend the traditional 1911 crowd. This is a good thing. It may take a couple of years, but one day there'll be the gold finish...

Taurus quality has been one of those topics discussed numerous times here and on the FiringLine. With all the recent posts on this topic (usually one every other day or so), it's hard to believe this one resurrects a three year old thread. :eek: I'm not saying those posts aren't relevant...
