    the new Taurus Curve

    Thicker maybe - but the curved frame would better follow the contour of the body, & it includes a laser & light. I would be impressed if anyone can hang both onto a current sub-compact & it be smaller &/or thinner than the Curve.

    the new Taurus Curve

    It intrigues me. If it works - meaning it feeds, ejects, is reasonably accurate, & reliable, I'd be interested & if priced right would be a buyer. It seems it would be a good option for summer when wearing lightweight shorts & shirt, or deep cover backup when carrying in a shoulder holster...

    S&w 4506

    I know I'm resurrecting an old thread here, but what the heck - it's Saturday & I don't have anything to do anyway... You are almost correct. In season 5, Crockett carried a transitional 645. I have one; it is identified on the frame as a 645. The factory box identifies it as a Model 6450...

    What is the lowest caliber you will carry

    A .22LR semi-auto. If it is the largest thing I can conceal, then it is going with me.

    Useless Firearms In Your Collection

    I'm not going to read all 4 pages of responses - but I think that is a dangerous statement. Anti's are always telling anyone who will listen that "these guns have 1 intended purpose......." No flame intended - it just makes me uneasy.

    CCW/Carry: Best example to tell an Anti-Gunner - Road Rage

    I'm not sure - are there any states that consider carrying a loaded firearm in the passenger compartment of an automobile "open" carry? To my knowledge, this is always considered CCW carry & requires a permit except for states that don't require a permit for CCW. That said - I agree with wgp...

    Ohio call to action

    I'm on the NRA's email alert list; I've seen (in the past) alerts for calls to the state legislators for passage of the bills - which I did - but nothing yet on contacting Kasich to sign. Is it time to do this?

    M&P 9 FS - thumb safety or no thumb safety?

    My 4.25" 9MM has the safety. To be completely honest, it was the only model on the show table when I bought it. I don't know that I'll carry this weapon, but if I decide to the safety operation is the same as the 1911 .45s that I do carry. As there is no grip safety, I (personally) am glad I...

    .44 mag barrel length 4" or 6"

    My only .44MAG is a Ruger SBH with the 7-1/2" tube. My next .44MAG will be a 4", or if it was ever available & I stumble across it, a 5" M29 pre-lock. I'll trade out the Ruger for it if I have to. I have a 6" S&W 686-1 that I bought new. I won't part with it, but kind of wish it was a 4"...

    SP101 - Which barrel? 3.06" or 2.25"

    It depends on the intended use. Mine is the shorter barrel, for CCW use in an OWB holster. The shorter barrel, when utilized for OWB carry, is easier to conceal. My wife's nightstand gun is a 3" M60 S&W. This gun is not intended for CCW.

    1911 Taurus Sight Question

    I can tell you this - I've been told (not by Taurus) that my PT1911 in 9MM is constructed with sights that are to be employed more in a "combat" sight picture than a "bullseye" sight picture - meaning that the dot is to completely cover the aim point. I'm not saying it is true or false - I...

    1911 in 9mm

    +1 I have (3) .45ACP handguns, all are the 1911 format. My only 9MM handgun is a Browning HP - & it wasn't because I really wanted a 9MM. I really wanted the HP, & not in .40S&W. I'd suggest the HP.

    The Lady Gun?!?!

    If she is new to handguns, I would suggest a revolver. I bought my wife one of these: .38/.357 S&W 3" M60 But if I had to do it again, might buy her one of these: .38/.357 S&W 5" M60 The size of the J frame is comfortable for anyone with a small or petite hand. The all SS...

    Taurus Owners

    Had a 2" M85 that did have to go back to Taurus because the barrel was turned in too far canting the sight & light DA strikes. It came back 100% & shot fine. Sold it to a good friend to fund another purchase. I have a PT940 that is dead to nuts accurate & functions flawlessly. I voted...

    Makarovs Anyone?

    The true Makarovs are great little guns. As mentioned, a little heavy but very reliable & sturdy. Prices are up now, but a few years back (10?) they were the best value going in a handgun. I have a few of them - spent a little money on this piece in some light customizing: MMC night...

    Anyone comfortably CCW a 5" 1911?

    +1 If you wear a full length leather trench coat, you can CCW a 12g shotgun. Under a jacket fitted correctly, a 5" 1911 shouldn't be an issue. I find I cannot carry a 5" comfortably in warm weather.
