Here's the first outing with my Taurus PT 640 Pro. It's Brazilian so you know it's smooth down stairs.

Not necessarily the route I woulda went, but whatevah.


Hey where in God's Country are you?

If you can find a brand new S&W 5906 for $275 that I paid for this one then let me know. I don't mind used. I did have to get over the fact that I didnt get to see it/feel it before buying but that's how it goes.


Eh...I live dangerously. I hit the handicap button and I'm not even handicap.


I did clean it and I guess they just clean the upper half and let the bottom half collect the filth. LOL I didnt feel like wasting all my gun blast so I got under the sink with a brush and went to town on everything. Even though it was gunked up good, NOTHING made it seem like it was dirty. Nothing stuck, the trigger was crisp smooth, no stuck firing pin, or gritty upper action.

I do how ever have to replace two tiny tiny springs that give tension to these three finger things. Both were snapped but the pieces were stacked so I didn't know until I used a pick to get them out. Sadly I dropped one and forgot I left the other one on the gun mat and moved it around. O well. The good thing is the springs are super thin and not even strong enough to operate a ball point pen so they should be easy to replace with something from the hardware store or cutting down a pen's spring. Before anyone says, "OMG that's dangerous" I'm telling you these things are so weak, an eye glance bent one of them.

We didn't criticize because it was used. You can get some really good deals out there for used firearms (hell, my P229 I bought used).

.... that being said, when I bought my used SIG, I took it home, downloaded a manual and took it apart and cleaned it.

dunno how true this story is..........


Gun lovers public service announcement: While I was in a Texas gun store today, my car was tagged on the wheel in the parking lot. The gangs do this on wheels or bumpers at gun stores, shooting ranges, gun shows etc. Later when you are parked at a restaurant, hotel, or other location that’s less well guarded or under video surveillance, other gang members spot the marker and break into the car for a quick gun grab. This is so RAMPANT in San Antonio where we were for a National shoot this summer, the Sheriff of Bexar County came out to brief the 400 participants of our competition. Too bad three teams had already been victimized the first day. This is the first I’ve heard of this in Texas . Please pass this info along to your 2nd amendment list. Daily check you car, truck or motor home for unusual painted dots, marks, check marks or other strange looking symbols that are not normal to your type vehicle. It could prevent you from being a victim of robbery, or even save your life if you catch the thief in the act.

This next comment from a Gun Site instructor:

I don’t know how widespread this is becoming, but the info regarding the NSCA Nationals in San Antonio is correct, as all of us who compete in sporting clays know. Competitors there were having their vehicles marked with a small adhesive dot on the rear license plate or rear bumper, then followed for miles and having their vehicles quickly and efficiently broken in to when parked for lunch etc.

Some crews were working the parking lot at the Nationals itself. 27 high end shotguns were taken there recently. They know when 1400 shooters with high $$ competition guns are in town.

BTW I shot with a young man who was trying out a new gun at the Nationals. He and his father lost all their guns and equipment while making a quick stop for lunch at a BBQ place in Corpus Christi the month before.
