Taurus gets a bad rap I have owned many Taurus revolvers and one of their pistols. I only had problems with one. I bought a .357 revolver back in 1991 and after about 1-1 1/2 years the firing pin broke. I did a lot of dry fire so that may have been my fault. I sent it back to Taurus and they...

Color Me Green I am not a Green person normally. However my solution to a quiet pellet trap falls in the Recycle area nicely. I have the Gamo Pellet Trap and I take the shreds from my shredder and stuff it full. Makes 22 real quiet. :D

Never owned, seen or heard of T5 But I do own both a Taurus Public Defender 410/45 and a Taurus Raging Judge Magnum 454/45/410. I like them both. As far as the 410, it was a side note for me. I got the Raging Judge because I wanted something in one of the Large Pistol Calibers. Its fun to shoot...

I sort mine by color. I put all the pretty silver ones in one pile and all the yellow ones in another pile. It serves no real purpose.....I am just anal retentive.

I'm Jealous. Let me try something here, an old Jedi mind trick. You don't want this gun. You want to give this gun to Tom. Go ahead.... put it in the box and send it to him now!

Rhinoh "lately my favorite has been my .45XDs. All pocket carry." How do you pocket carry it? I can't even get mine to conceal in my large winter jacket pockets. Is that with the 5 or 7 round Mag?

Here is my experience with Taurus 1. First I bought a 22 Revolver model 94B4. This was 1991 timeframe. Never had any issue with it. In fact I took it to the range yesterday and shot it, cleaned it tonight. 2. I bought a model 66 (I think) in 357. Loved it right up until 1 year after I had it...

Why not look at what happens in the real world? go to www.handloads.com and click on the Stopping Power link at the top of the page. It will tell you what you need to know about which round to choose for self defense. You will probably notice after researching many options that .357 and 45 ACP...

"And let's see some documentation. In general, shooting someone in the back after he has ceased to reasonably be a threat is a good way to go to jail" Your absolutely right. I didn't say it was right or that it was legal or ethical. Just telling what happened. That our Prosecutor decided not to...

shot in the back Here is how it this works here in SC. About a year ago the local waffle house got robbed repeatedly, in the early morning hours. Finally the staff got fed up and bought a gun for their protection. They kept it under the counter. So along comes another criminal to rob the...

I have read this entire thread and learned a lot on Economics and Politics. However, it brings me to one conclusion. The primary reason, other than its fun, that people shoot 22LR is that is is cheap. If it is no longer Cheap there is little incentive for me personally to shoot it over my .357...

Thanks for sharing, both interesting and scary at the same time.

Savage Axis trigger I am also considering a Savage Axis for my first rifle (larger caliber than 22LR). To solve the trigger issue couldn't you just get a trigger job done. couldn't a competent local gunsmith do a trigger job for you. Then you would still have a nice rifle cheaper than what the...

You got me Gun master. well Played!
