    New Taurus gun I don't lke the lexan side plate either but the gun ought to hide good.. This is a brand new offering.They won't show up in the stores much yet. I still like my J-frame best.

    Compact 45 for CCW that isn't a G36 or 1911?

    The Taurus 145 is a compact package that many find excellent.

    Using high cap magazine in SD/HD

    I'm going to try to make do with thirteen, but it depends on how many targets I must engage and for how long. I have another handgun that balances nicely with seventeen rounds. It's ready to back up the other. But in the middle of the night I'm going to have to survive with five.

    Seems like a lot of Taurus Millinnium gen 2, guns are being used lately

    I go started with a Taurus PT-111, Millennium Pro,a small 9mm handgun. I had to wrap the grip to get some bulk for my long fingers. I had the usual issues with a new gun, it went back to the factory in Miami and returned in twelve days. It has worked flawlessly now for the last 1500 rounds and...

    thumb gets in the way of trigger finger

    My trigger finger digs into my thumb too and when the nail grows it actually cuts. So, I have to keep it very short. I try to use just the pad of the finger and keep the thumb high but that doesn't always stay that way. I have long thin fingers and must wrap the grip too. It's why we keep...

    Thoughts on "nightstand" guns

    I need it close, loaded and easy to use with either hand. A J-frame revolver.

    What pistol do you like to shoot that it seems only you have?

    Our S&W9VE does guard duty in our mobile home. Works great.

    Buying a broken gun...

    Taurus has a lifetime guarantee, no matter who owns it. I think a few others do too.

    Being prepared to use your firearm inside your house

    It's going to be LOUD, but you may not hear it in the excitement of having (choosing) to fire. Your ears will ring for a good while. Tell the cops you'll talk to them when you can hear again.

    ATI or Taurus 1911

    YES, either. I love my Taurus, and wouldn't change a thing. ATI may be just as good. Didn't help, did I?

    Traffic Stop has this ever actually happened to anyone?

    Stopped while carrying Yep, I got pulled over for going a little fast on my way back form the gun range. Being a good boy I put the gear in park, turned off the engine and put both hands up on the wheel. When I saw the trooper coming up the right side I lowered the passenger window. He asked...

    What was your last impulse buy that you had buyers remorse over?

    A Springfield XD-9 Service. Turned out to be heavy and clumsy. Traded for an S&W 642 snubby. Now that was a neat little gun but it beat up my hand and wrist. Traded for a S&W 60-4. I understand it's a bit rare but oh how nice it shoots for me. A CZ P07 Duty was an impulse buy. I wish now I...

    Wish I were strong enough to be comfortable carrying a .45. That I would.

    my wife was on a self-defense case jury

    There was the story just a coupla years ago about the guy defending himself against a militant woman and later her boyfriend right in front of his house. It took years and over $100k to get declared not guilty. I think Mas Ayoob was a defense witness. It's that kind of expense that shakes me so...
