I think jcwilt nailed it with the ISO 8601 International Std. Year-month-day comment. Company I work for is German and all of our dating is year-month-day. That would mean Texshooter's round was fired 2005-10-10 (Oct 10th, 2005).

That's a Glock 19 most the time. The .38 snubby goes when I'm popping out for gas or another quick stop. The BUG goes with me 90% of the time (as a BUG, not as a primary)

Companies that hire sale reps (in any industry, not just firearms) look for two things: a degree and experience. You might get hired without the degree, if you have a proven track record. So, look for an entry level job in sales. It probably won't pay much initially, but at least you'll be...

I never thought about .380 until the Ruger LCP came out. As a BUG or a super concealed primary (mostly a BUG, in my case), the LCP is great. Just be aware of the limitations of the round. However, I would not be interested in any larger handgun in .380 caliber. I am a .38 SPL fan and carry a...

One criticism of the 627 Tracker (from it's inception 10-12 years ago) was the ejector rod is too short. That, combined with the .38 brass swelling as Lone Haranguer wrote, can result in difficult ejections of spent cases. My Tracker is stainless and I give the ejector rod a good push (jab...

I've had several Taurus 85 revolvers. All of the stainless models were (IIRC) +P rated. I currently own an 85 Multi-Alloy (aluminum frame, titanium cylinder barrel shroud) and an 851 (same gun, but all titanium frame and shouded hammer), both of which are rated for +P (per the manuals)...

What holster do you carry your Tracker in?

The Multi-Alloy was only made one year? That surprises me...I thought I saw/read about the aluminum framed, titanium cylinder/barrel shroud .38 revolver on the Taurus site not too long ago. They aren't called multi-alloys any more though. As far as the Total Titanium (as Taurus called them)...

Any gunshop will carry .38/.357 snap caps, if you want to use them.

I've had a Taurus Ultra-Lite (with the aluminum frame/titanim cylinder and barrel shroud) for over ten years. It served me well as a carry gun. But when I first got it, there was a real problem with light strikes. Although it was corrected by the factory and has been fine ever since, I do...

Well, not the Rorbaugh. That little gun may be a fine piece, but it's price is going to mean a very limited market.

I suggest you take it to a gun smith. I've owned several model 85s over the years and never even heard of a problem like this. My guess is there is a spring missing, but if you bought the gun with this problem, you may not even realize something is missing. BTW, I'm pretty sure you can...

I'd really be interested in the context of the original question (the friend to the OP). I would hope the question concerned the proximaty of folks while shooting at an indoor range (I want anyone with me between the 4 and 8 O'Clock positions...less worries about the gases escaping from a...

Of the three rifles Tad wrote about, I have the Marlin 1894 in .357. I like lever actions, but one had better practice with them quite a bit if expecting to handle one in a stress (self defense) situation. It's pretty easy to short stroke a lever action (and Marlins like to be chambered...

First and foremost, the LCP is not a range gun. It's a very small, very light self defense gun. I'd say there was no intention of shooting this gun for extended periods. That stiff trigger is the only "safety" on this little weapon. Personally, I prefer that type of trigger. As far as Old...
