This heavily used revolver was owned by my great grandfather. Family lore says it was used in 1898 by my GGF to "kill a man on the street at Little Rock, Ark. Mr._______ was no-billed by the Grand Jury." "In 1904 Mr.____ shot a man who tried to rob him." There is exceptional wear on the grip...

The only warranty work I needed was on my early generation PT-145. The good news, Taurus responded well in their efforts to fix the pistol. Even replace the sights as I had removed them prior to shipping the pistol. The bad news, I've had to send it back twice since 2002. To answer...

Etex got it right. Shoot, shut-up, call your lawyer.

Good point. After reading the article again, I had misunderstood one of the quotes. What do you think about Dunn going into his home to get the rifle; after the knife assault? Will a prosecutor feel he was out of harms way and to go back into the garage was inviting more trouble...

"Hold on, stay right there until I get my rifle!" It is going to be interesting seeing how the State moves on this. Is it self defense? No, not by what I have been taught. Did the perp deserve it, yes. Is the shooter in trouble....you bet, even in Texas. What would you have done...

Short list for me as well. Taurus 1911, when available Big bore hunting, wheelgun, Ruger BH, Taurus Raging Bull, S&W. all .44 or up. HT

MachIVshooter, As you have probably figured out by now, the Pro version is the one to get. I have an '02 Pt-145 and it is at TI being fixed again. Twice the grip assembly has cracked (No +p), the plastic/polymer holding the trigger assembly broke thus jamming the trigger reset, and the...

The more I think about it, the more I accept the artilces premise that using a handgun to stop/deter the BGs is rarely reported and if it is, is of little news value to our esteemed media. If you are compelled to draw your weapon, would it be safe to assume, at a minimum, you felt...

Very good article by Larry Elder of the Washington Times. The statistics are jaw dropping. I believe I will save this one for further use. http://www.washtimes.com/commentary/20050904-100121-4024r.htm Questions: Have any of you had to use your weapon for defensive purposes...

Oh, no offense taken, at all! I agree about Photoshop filters. I guess it is the little kid in me that likes the looks. No, no cut a pasting going on here. Not that good. You suppose HK would be interested in the Photo? Naw, not a chance. That is my weapon, sitting on top of a TV with...

Dionysusigma, Maybe these will be more to your liking. IMG 1164 is one of my favorites. Bob

If I don't get this place cleaned up before she gets home, there will be blood everywhere. Actually it is some backlighting. Flashlight with Glad Wrap over the end.

Wife is out of town so......., to stay out of trouble; Here are some photos you may like to use as desktop and such. Suggestions are welcome, i.e. "take up another hobby", "please don't post that junk here", "I had a camera like that until I got a job". You know, the usual stuff from you...

Very nice, indeed. Like the Kahr as well! Like the looks of his Pro Tuckable. Doesn't list pricing. so..... What did it cost you? I know, if I have to ask, I can't afford it! "I never look back, darling. It distracts from the now." Edna, The Incredibles

I am well know for my humility. The fact I am very successful in any pursuit undertaken, am the best shot I've ever had the privilege of knowing, can do just about anything, am well loved by all, with my counsel being sought by many, and of course being a homegrown Texan doesn't mean I'm not...

Getting ready to order some Taurus .45 185 gr. Hex Bullet for my PT145. Next is Cor-Bon .45 185 +p DPX for my USP but.... I cannot find any Cor-Bon .38 sp 110 gr +p DPX for my 642 except direct from Cor-Bon. I can find other DPX cartridges online for less than direct pricing, just not the...

I believe Cor-Bon wanted a standard pressure .45 DPX for short barrels. Their belief in speed requires a much lighter bullet to achieve a 1000+ velocity out of a three inch barrel at standard pressures, hence the 160gr. Cor-Bon's 185 gr. round is a +p. A really outsanding performer from...

Matt, I would avoid +p as well. Not really sure the PT111 would stand up to hard hammering of +p as a regular diet. Could be if the warranty was one year or three year, they may not care, but when you warrant the weapon for the life of the weapon, not the owner, they may be covering their...

I'm read for a move toward the Corbon 160 gr. standard pressure, DPX round (designed for short barrels) or the 185 gr. Taurus standard pressure DPX round. Have seen some impressive numbers with both in terms of penetration and expansion. Some believe this is THE defensive round. I'll take the...

It is worth what you can get. Just remember, you will never get more than you ask. Start high and you can always drop. Good luck.
