My Taurus broke in a "what the H*LL way"

[BushyGuy]

ship it back to Taurus - they have lifetime warranty, maybe if its unrepairable they will send you a brand new gun. Otherwise they will fix your gun and replace whatever is broken for free.

No, Hex I didn't and I already sent it back.

 

[mesinge2]

Ohh, I didn't know the XD had no 45 subcompact. I just assumed they made one.
hmmm.....

Scratch that one from the list..

Weather and attire permitting, I've found my SIG 220 Carry in an iwb holster comfortable and concealable.

I like the look of this one:

The grip reminds me of a 1911 beavertail grip safety

 

[mesinge2]

It was mean showing me this site. I'm starting to shop.

I also like the P220 Super Match.

I know not compact, not a 3" barrel, and larger that my 1911's, but it caught my eye.

Might as well carry your fullsize pistol. The Sig is 39oz unloaded and 1.5" wide, It's also a decocker with a DA first shot. Worlds away from the 1911 platform that you like so well.

Shooter, I think that's why my eye was drawn to the Super Match. It is SAO.

But again it is much larger than my 1911s

 

[Lonestar49]

No need for the tail or extra weight nor DA/SA if..

...

For only 30.4 oz w/mag, SAO, no beaver tail (not needed, having a full size) and shot others Carry models, you have the best of all, smaller, SAO, lighter, ccw options and less worry about any hang-ups on a protruding beaver tail, not needed IMHO.

Plus those "very nice" looking Sig wood grips make for a very thick grip which may, or may not, be a good thing, depending on ones hands.

OMMV,

[mesinge2]

Ls, are these are locked and cocked mode of carry with a thumb safety?

The only Sigs, I've handled are DA/SA with a decocker and no safety lever. Except for my girlfriend's Mosquito with a slide mounted safety.

 

[Artiz]

^^ If you need a safety then use the DA pull first. It is enough of a safety, if it's not safe enough for you, you have a problem.

 

[mesinge2]

Artiz, the one Ls showed me does not have a DA Function. It is strictly SAO.

 

[Artiz]

And is it a problem in any way? You finger never needs to be on the trigger if it doesn't belong there.

 

[mesinge2]

I am just familar with a thumb safety on SA pistols. It has nothing to do with an accidental discharge or being nervous. I just prefer SA pistols because of the lighter trigger pull and shorter reset. That's why I like 1911s and also why if I purchased a Sig it would be a SAO model and not a DA/SA model.

P.S. I re-read the site description of the P220 Carry SAO it has an ambidextrous thumb safety.

 

[mesinge2]

I got my gun back, well, a different one. They simply stated that the gun was beyond repair and sent me a new one.

Quote:
If the firing pin gets stuck in the extended position (due to dirt, mechanical defect, hardened grease, uncleaned powder residues, insect eggs, etc in the mechanism) on ANY semi-auto, it will do that.
Not with a Colt-Browning tilt barrel controlled feed design. IF the firing pin protrudes beyond the breechface, the gun will come to a screechin' halt.

So what's the deal with the G18 and all the other modified GLOCK full autos? Browning tilt barrel and full auto achieved with what amounts to a selectably stuck firing pin.

Dunno. Never seen one. Maybe a device that slips into place that feeds the round ahead of the breechface.

I try to avoid Glocks whenever possible.
