    Best IWB attachment type

    If you're referring to the clips on the holsters in your photos as J-hooks, those look to me like standard belt clips, not J-hooks.

    What's your experience with non toxic, non petroleum based oils and solvents?

    So are you saying that motor oil provides no lubrication to an engine until it nears operating temperature?

    Gun Free Zone killing list

    If guns are prohibited at a site (whether by law or by stated policy of the property owner), then it's safe to call it a gun-free zone.

    Ishapore Enfield - possible reliability issue?

    As mentioned earlier, the S/N on the mag matches the rest of the gun so it appears to be the "right" mag. There's NO side-to-side wobble of the mag, however there is a bit of up-and-down and front-to-back play. I just noted that I can feed from the mag pretty reliably if I apply constant...

    Ishapore Enfield - possible reliability issue?

    Just got one of these from AIM. Haven't shot it yet (or even cleaned it for that matter). However, I dropped a few rounds into the mag and worked the action just to get a feel for it. Something concerns me about it: I noticed that the engagement area of the bolt face and the case head is...

    Taurus Customer Service Rant

    That's amazing that a magazine is able to fully evaluate a "combat handgun" based on what is probably a small sample size and a short history. Anyways, I don't care what a magazine says this month. You got the first part right, but I personally don't care how many posts you've got. As...

    Taurus Customer Service Rant

    weregunner, while I'm sure you are right that there are some "anti-Taurus" people out there who do not have a good reason, there are those who DO have a good reason, and you do seem to be acknowledging that. However, considering the context of this thread, I find it pathetic and truly...

    Taurus Customer Service Rant

    Redneck, I'm hoping the PT-140 was/is not your every day carry pistol? If so, is it possible to purchase spares so you wouldn't have to wait for the replacement if it happens again? Also, are you sure the pin is plastic? I have a PT-145, and a magnet is attracted to my takedown pin. It is...

    Taurus Customer Service Rant

    On top of all that, their catalogs state that "All Taurus handguns" are rated for a steady diet of +P ammunition. :banghead: I have no problem getting spare parts for my Glock(s), and I am not looking back.

    Taurus Customer Service Rant

    I have two Taurus firearms, both of which had problems and needed to be sent in, and both of which were sent back to me with the same problems. Does that make me a "basher" because my experience with them makes them look incompetent? :banghead:
