Three. Please share your experience with Taurus revolvers that you bought and paid for.

I've not owned one of the new T revolvers. Hence, I have no experience with them. I can rent one locally and might do that. Tell me about warranty and repair. First, is it true that removing the side...

I know.

Very many people have had problems with Taurus products and their customer service. These folks might not select an 856. My opinion is that there are many excellent Ruger, Smith and Wesson, and Colt...

The discussion focuses on self-defense revolvers, and I understand perceived limitations of steel J frames. I agree that belt carrying a 5 shot revolver regardless of barrel length is a questionable...

I can think of no reason that a 32 revolver cartridge fired in a J frame would have ignition issues. Like the 38 Spl, this cartridge head-spaces on its rim. The 32 cal cylinder is simply the 38 Spl...

I tried that but had no success.

Mention was made of firing one of these pistols 600 times. My experience convinces me that these pistols can't endure extensive shooting. I would have been pleased...

About 20 years ago while working security at a retirement center, I had to deal with a young man intent on beating up his girlfriend, a nurse. I refused to back down. He said, "Old man, you know I...

I use cheap kydex holsters as trigger covers for Glocks and similar pistols. I think that those keeping a Glock chamber empty lack confidence and experience with the platform. Hence, they may be more...

Modern metallurgy gives handgun manufacturers an extra margin of safety. Old age has made my memory fuzzy, and I'm too lazy to look up 10mm Auto ballistics. Instead of using "too hot" when discussing...

I never handled a BHP 40.

I owned a couple Glock 10mm pistols and decided the caliber is too hot for the platform. Of course, Glock didn't consult me, and I'm not qualified to debate the question....

The BHP has an extremely heavy hammer spring and a somewhat lighter slide. I think that the heavy spring is needed to control slide velocity. I had Cajun perform their full treatment on a CZ P-01....

Cajun's writings imply that recoil springs play the greater role in reducing slide velocity. Others(forgot whom)have demonstrated that hammer spring weight contributes more.

I met Hambo when he was doing hard time in Texas. He would tell his peers that they should think for themselves and then say that's how I got where I am today. We gave him a new set of teeth and...

I like Slip 2000 EWO if I can find the bottle. If not, I grab what's within reach, like Hoppe's Gun Oil. Some here will remember Frog Lube which does provide excellent corrosion protection. I ended...

I never saw a Smith revolver that was lubed at the factory.

The warranty guy had never heard about the big hammer method. I've seen it done by factory trained armorers.

Finally, I fired my new S&W Model 10-7 bought a couple years ago and observed that it shot 8 inches left of point of aim. Ammo was factory 158 grain. Distance was 25 yards. Two other shooters had the...

I don't know when Smith adopted the left hand threads. I bought my first one in 1970. It has the left hand threads.

Clean under extractor star. When cleaning barrel with a brush on a rod, be aware that the end of the brush can hit the firewall. Be gentle. I seldom use brass bristle brushes and opt for nylon...

One of my students asked me how I ran my crack. I told him that in my world crack was something on a woman. He understood,

I owned a Savage 340 until recently. I used it to shoot cast bullets. These are nice little rifles made of stampings and designed to be made at low cost. If scoped, the scope requires a side mount,...

Published community demographics showing percent of population below poverty level is an indicator of crime. It rises with increases in poverty. Within big cities, some neighborhoods have much higher...

My guess is that the extractor may have crud in that section where the spring is. Also check extractor claw for damage. While inspecting, remove parts in firing pin tunnel and remember to keep oil...

I remember that his attorneys discredited the white lead detective to such extent that the jury nullified by voting not guilty.
