    Tell me about the AMT .380 DAO

    Grendel P10 is indeed blowback, and has NO magazine release - it is a blind magazine loaded from the top. No inadvertent magazine releases. I got my hands on one a few years back, and it's reliable and accurate. And light. Not very pleasant to shoot, but not as bad as many folks make it out to...

    Good .44 magnum revolver?

    As of this moment, CDNN currently has both Taurus M44s ($600) and Raging Hunters ($900) in .44 Mag in their "overstock sale".

    PSA Dagger 15 round magazine updates?

    Might have to wiat a bit on getting too many more of those magazines. Shield Arms and Palmetto State Armory are duking it out in the courts over whether or not the Dagger Micro magazines are infringing on patents... Here's a link to The Firearm Blog with a brief overview and some court-related...

    Taurus 44 mag tracker, better than my S&W 69

    I have the gloss blue 'Rossi badged' version that is the same gun, but lacks the porting and adjustable sights. I picked it up a few years ago used at my favorite local place for a song. I believe that Taurus made a batch of them for Academy Sports around 2012 or so. 44_2 by Geldarr posted Sep...

    300 Blackout, 110 TAC-TX, and deer pass through

    Agreed. Neck shots with Barnes bullets in .300blk are great - the last one I shot was with the now-discontinued Remington Hog Hammer 130gr Barnes bullet, and it dropped her immediately with a neck shot at ~20 yards. Recovered the bullet from 2 inches into the clay at her feet (I was shooting...

    LCR Grips/Stocks Compared

    The Guardian grips with the pop-down pinky rest are nice on my Taurus 856 - and they make them for the LCR as well. Conceals like the bantam grip, shoots like the larger grip, and is hard plastic. They are light and not sticky. I like them.

    Taurus "Executive Grade" Revolvers?

    Website lists capacity as 6 rounds. Not gaining any capacity over the .38 version, but the flexibility and reduced recoil might be worth it. An interesting comparison would be the size of the "old" model Taurus M327 and this "new" 327 version. Wish I had bought a few of the old version when...

    Taurus "Executive Grade" Revolvers?

    Taurus has claimed the newly released 327 revolve will eventually come in 3" (as opposed to the 2" they have available right now). It is, in essence, an 856 chambered in .327 Federal. Not exactly .32H&R, but it will shoot them...

    Recommend AR trigger - single stage on a budget?

    I'm also throwing LaRue in there. Fantastic trigger!

    Taurus 327 range report

    I do not like the "new" style Taurus rubber grips either. I had one on an 856 I bought, and found that it was very uncomfortable to shoot with that grip. My solution was to buy a Pachmayr Guardian Grip - it feels like the plastic S&W boot grips. Pretty easy to drift the spring pin out with a...

    VZ Grips for Tracker .44

    Just a quick update - shot around 30 rounds through the revolver today, and I definitely could tell they needed a little less "bite". I sanded the checkering down a little with a medium grit sanding sponge (carefully). Feels better, but only the next range session will tell if more sanding is...

    VZ Grips for Tracker .44

    Here it is in all of its .44 short-barrel glory: I must say that I am very pleased with how these grips look, fit and feel! Some thoughts: The "black cherry" color does kind of resemble dark rosewood, though the pictures don't really do it justice. It looks classy on a blued gun, for sure...

    VZ Grips for Tracker .44

    They have the same grip style as the Judge. Just a different method of attachment I suppose, squeezing from the sides vs. A screw on the bottom. These grips do fit the Judge as well Customer service assured me they would accept a return if they did not fit.

    VZ Grips for Tracker .44

    I've got a Rossi R44102 - the same gun as the TALO 2.5" barrel Taurus Tracker, but blued. I've been shooting it with Trailboss loads in magnum cases, which are nice .44 special level recoil loads. I've also acquired a simply Rugged sourdough pancake holster for it, which I plan to carry it in...

    Rossi Model 68 Experiment

    Here's one that I bought for sub-$100 years ago. It had been dropped on the hammer and broken off the spur, so I filed it down to something more comfortable. I then installed a homemade shim to remove endplay. It locks up perfectly, and is super accurate to boot. My final changes were to swap...

    Diamondback Sidekick

    Both Heritage Mfg. and Diamondback are owned by Taurus, so they're going to get your money either way you go on that front. Speaking of 9 shot "Sidekicks"... As an unabashed H&R fan (which, this revolver fills the same niche) - I'd love to have a 2" 929 Sidekick with an aluminum frame. That...
