The 715 is a little better, as in a lighter SA pull, but DA I can't really tell the difference, except they sound different. I don't know why exactly, but my 715 has a different "Snap" than the two 15-2s, which sound exactly alike and just like the previous 10 or so I've had over the years...

Hopefully, you won't have about 100 dead baby spiders inside, like the gun in my avatar had in the magazine. I would imagine they were imported from Israel as was the gun itself. I bet you're going to flush a load of gunk out of it. Most all my used DW revolvers had a ton of crud in them, but...

I like the 92FS a lot, I've had several of them. I only sold them because I needed cash in a hurry. I currently just have a Taurus PT92, and it's fine, but my old Berettas were smoother and much better finished. The 92FS grip, NOT the Vertec, is IMHO, about the third greatest grip shape there...

Every so often, you used to be able to score a DW 15-2 cheap, but as time has gone by, the prices have increased by a lot. One of my 15-2's was about $350-375+$25 ship+ $20 transfer. The last one in 2016 was $500+$40 ship+$25 trnsfer. It IS nicer than the other 15-2 I have, a lot nicer, but $150...

I've paid both ways and had zero issues, except some of the sellers were a bit slow to ship it out. Others came so fast I swear the guy must have been sitting outside the post office when he got paid. One time, a gun came from Bud's the same day. I couldn't believe it! Bud's isn't that far away...

Mine is a SAR CM9 G2, which is a clone of a Tanfoglio Witness Poly, and kind of a CZ P07 cousin. I have center mass laser on it, and since it was only $250 shipped, I wouldn't be suicidal if I lost it somehow. Totally reliable, one of the (IMHO) all time great grips, and almost impossible to...

At the place called "The Gun Store" on Tropicana near Eastern, I spent a ton of money back when it was called "Target Alley" and a lot of it was for ammo shot out of Uzi's, Tommy Guns, and a couple of others, but that Thompson .45 with the drum got a lot of boxes of ammo put through it full...

Several FFL's I've bought from wouldn't take a card, I had to pay with a MO. I'm assuming the gun will just need to be taken down and cleaned to restore full function. In all my years of DW 15-2 and 715 ownership, the parts that have actually failed are...zero. The first 15-2 had a clipped...

I've had a bunch of some guns, most of them got sold during a "cash crunch". At least 4 Beretta 92's, a couple of 92S's, and at least 2 92FS's. Multiple S&W 28-2's, 4" and 6.5", ranging from "well used" to almost NIB. Astra A80's, 90's and 100's. 2 Astra A75's. One .40 which I didn't enjoy...

Those old prefixes have no relevance with the later Astra guns. There's a chart out there somewhere that has the correct ones for the A60, 70, 75, 80, 90, and A100 series. My A75 is one made towards the end of Astra. I don't have access to the S# now, but by the old codes it would be made in the...

It's got to be one of those "There is some idiot out there willing to pay this much!" sort of guns. I used to see this a lot at Ham Radio "Hamfests" where some guy, usually older, would have some totally insane price on a radio. At one point, I made up some "Most insane Price" first, second, and...

I've only owned one Colt revolver, a 4" blued Python made in '71, I think. It's the only revolver I've ever owned that actually broke a part and had to see a gunsmith to get fixed. I've had a couple of guns need springs, but they didn't break anything. My gun, bought used, broke the hand/pawl...

I don't mind the finger grooves at all.

I don't have it anymore, but I had a 4506 for many years. I like big heavy guns, and it fit into that category. I would take any 3rd gen S&W pistol over any 1911.

I have a few polymer striker guns and a few SA/DA hammer polymer guns. In every case, I like the hammer fired guns more. My favorite striker gun is my Taurus GX4 TORO, mostly for it's fantastic grip than any other reason.

Every single revolver I've had with light strikes/misfires has had the following causes: Strain screw in S&W revolvers. Clipped main/hammer spring in Taurus and Dan Wesson revolvers. Innards are full of crud, either unburned powder, "lube", or just amazingly dirty. Chipped firing pin (S&W 66)...

I had to pass on one of my lusted after guns last month, since I won't be getting anything back much from Ohio, and my fed tax will be pretty high this year, so no April toys for me this year. I'm a sucker for satin nickel/SS, and a friend of a friend had a Sig P226 in SN, and I wanted it bad.

I've had a couple of .22LR cases crack over the years, both were from Remington "bucket of bullets", and in the revolver I was shooting, an all steel Pietta, only the sound told me something was up.

Not the worst looking revolvers currently made, but close. Real close. Not going to even consider one. Between my DW 15-2's, 715, Sar sr38, S&W 28-2's, 686, 625, and 629, I have enough good looking revolvers to keep me happy.

I've bought a couple of used guns so full of crud that they barely functioned. The worst one was a Dan Wesson 15-2 that was almost totally full of unburned powder. I don't know much about powder, but the flakes were very large and almost looked like mouse droppings. You could barely cock the gun...
