I don't get your complaint. Where do you think a decocker or a magazine release belong, if not right where the strong-hand thumb can work them?

My own contribution: Mini-14/Mini-30. Compliance with NY SAFE is the only reason for either of those to exist, and FAC. They're like Corky and Timmy from South Park stopped arguing about which color of paint chip tasted best, for just long enough to bubba a perfectly good M-1 Carbine.

they revel in their ignorance. I would wager none have owned or even put rounds through a rhino.

there is exactly 1 more part than any other modern revolver & that is to accommodate the lower position of the hammer.

I disagree. My Ruger 5.56 is probably one of the best value M4gery's out there. I am still impressed by the accuracy, and the features for a reasonably priced gun.

I'm not huge on their pistols though.

But I hate the Keltec gun everyone seems to love, and anything Hi-point.

I've owned at least a dozen Taurus guns over the years, only ever had one small problem with one gun (which turned out to be magazine related). I've enjoyed every one I've owned, and IMHO it doesn't matter what you're carrying. If you run it for reliability and train with it sufficiently, you can pretty much figure out if it's up to the job.




There are Glocks which shouldn't be on someone's hip, just because it came out of a factory box from a reputable manufacturer doesn't mean it's 100% reliable or meets the needs of the shooter.




You gotta figure that one out on anything you buy. After 500 rounds of good SD ammo, and training with it, if it's flawless I pretty much trust it to go bang when shit goes sideways. I've had Kimbers, Smiths, Sigs all fail that process.

I had a PT908 that was horrible, you'd pull the trigger and nothing. Keep pulling the trigger and eventually it would fire.   It went back to the factory 2 or 3 times and would still do it.  They kept saying it was too much lube on the firing pin.  I dumped it

Me too.  Doesn't really make me cringe but it is like huge and not really a pistol... so it bugs me.

A Remington built Marlin is cringeworthy, especially the earlier ones that they built in the unlit basement with oven mitts.  I think they gave them a strobe light to work with now, they are getting somewhat better.

Otherwise out of the box they are neat marvels of engineering.

Beretta has QC that is among the best in the business. Taurus has a negative reputation that is very much earned.

I apologize for the rapid posts.  I just kept seeing stuff and didn't realize.

Also, I know, I shouldn't like the Windham Weaponry castrated "AR" but...something about the way the grip is designed is interesting.

Looking at both it and the Chiappa...I guess I do have a thing for unique looking guns.

Not nearly as bad to shoot as you would think it is, just stick to 300 grain bullets.  We goofed around with some 420 grain reloads and I messed up my wrist pretty severely.
