Well, don't have time now but will try to find out if the "groove" can be removed. Then I'll try shooting some more...

I'm not sure if they were lead (seemed to be pretty soft when I picked them up). I used cotton patches and nylon brush to clean the area around the forcing cone, didn't try anything metal as I didn't want scratch anything. Maybe I should try to scrape them with something more rigid and see if...

Hi, here's an update of the gun from its first range trip to Wilbur Wright yesterday. I shot about 600 rounds (one 500rd box of Winchester XpertHV, and two boxes of new Federal $1.50 per 50rd from Walmart. Unlike the 550rd Federal bulk pack, this is not copper coated) among the three rimfires...

The final chapter, the conclusion of my Taurus repair experience. I received my Tracker 990 yesterday (5/26) morning by Fedex from Taurus, after I sent it back in the third time in middle of April. This time, they've fixed it right. Right after I got it, I inserted 9 empty cases, and tested...

FMJ all the way for my LCP, penetration all the way from chest hair to back skin. I like the flat nose better than round nose. I think flat nose crushes tissue better instead of pushing it to the sides and makes the hole smaller. 380 makes a pretty small hole already, so at least make it a...

Yeah, I know. If they offer me a replacement I sure will accept that. But since Taurus is my only option to get it fixed, for free, as long as they are still trying to make it right, I'll just have to wait then...

Received the gun back from Taurus 4/12/2010 around 9am. The extractor star looks much cleaner with fewer tool marks now. Alas, it took me all about ten minutes to find out that, the gun has exactly the same problem as before. One chamber out of all 9 holes, when cocked slowly in single...

Ok, here is the update. I got the gun back last Thursday, 25th. Taurus never updated the repair status on their web site. Even right now, I enter the serial number and my zip code, the repair status will still say "Firearm arrived, waiting for repair". When Fedex called me on Wednesday and...

I used the Macro mode of my camera, tried to get all the details. I know Taurus is not the highly rated for workmanship/attention to detail/precision fine art beauty stuff. But so is Ruger, and some might that for Glock and others. I'd love to have a Smith 617 or 63, but for the $300...

Just got my first new gun for the year 2010, a Taurus 990 4-inch stainless, 24 hours ago, from PSS. $379 + tax. Haven't fired it yet, but I think I noticed a problem. It works fine (dry fire test using empty cases) in SA, the cylinder locks up whenever the hammer is cocked. But when I pull...

Yes, LCP comes with just one mag... Can you get three fingers on the grip, or just two?...

I was told by my trainer to rotate my body so the muzzle keep pointing down range, instead of rotating the gun. Of course, it's easier said than done...

Does it have the famous Taurus Security System like every other Taurus? Also, will it fit into pocket holsters made for P3AT/LCP?...Thanks! The last round lock open feature is great. That's about the only thing I'd like to see improved on my LCP...

At least it's not an internal lock. Lately Ruger acquired a nasty habit of embedding internal locks in their guns (LCR, for example) and not tell you where to find it (let alone how to remove the unwanted wart)...

I read somewhere that, the 1.04" width of PPS is the maximum width, including the slider release and takedown buttons. Without, the width is .91"...

Cougar L, the best looking, most aesthetically and proportionally correct Cougar model, and Beretta/Stoeger chose not to build it...

Does it have talons?...

Thanks for all the comments and advices. I'll leave the gun as is for now, just keep on shooting it, as much as I can afford... :)

Beautiful gun. The only thing I could think of that CZ could improve on their classic design, is to put a decocker and a safety on the gun at the same time... :)

Got two Mec-Gar 17-round flush-fitting mags for my Ruger P89. Work just like the factory mag, no drama. Mec-Gar made the follower really really thin, to accommodate two more rounds. The follower looks to me that it's going to flip over in the tube as soon as I load it with rounds, but it...
