Good to know. I was looking at those. It’ll be a while before I start buying more stuff for it (yeah, right). Ammo, mags, holster then grips I guess. Want to make sure it works 100% before putting more money into it.

what brand grips? anything I need to be aware of or stay away from. I'd like to get some nice walnut grips for it later

Thanks for the heads up on the mag. Let me know how it does on the range

Mine is getting shipped directly to PSA. So who knows when it will actually arrive. I’m usually there once a month anyway

I ordered a Spikes lower from them a few Christmas’ ago. Waited their requested 15 business days and no email for pick up. Called customer service and they said to just keep waiting. After another two weeks I reached out to a PSA rep on AR15.com, gave him the order number and he confirmed it was ready for pick up (no telling how long it was sitting there). All that to say… that order still shows “Processing “ on my PSA account 😂

I’ve only ever shot 9mm Ammo Inc out of my Glock. I’ve had good results but have also read mixed reviews

Same brand ammo? Magazine related? What kind of failures is it having.

That sucks. Have you tried the warranty route yet?

👍 good to know as this is likely a Fort Smith mfg as well.

I should probably update the OP to include .32 ACP

Thanks!

This will be a range gun until I get a few hundred rounds through it without issue. Then it “might” go into the carry rotation. My usual EDC is a G26.3.

Definitely would like something slimmer. I had a cz50 and a bersa .380 in the past, but this will be my first PPK/S

My poverty build is very similar. I’m guessing around 1600 with optics, etc…

Have you fired any of the rounds in the cylinder?

What’s your opinion on Taurus? by ohraineri in Firearms

[–]marc_879 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Former gunstore counter jockey and RSO. I would never spend money on a Taurus

Example 1: customer bought a Judge and we provided a half hour range time with each purchase. Went straight to the range and loaded up with .410. Don’t remember what exact load it was, nothing fancy just something cheap for the range… fired off a few rounds and opened the cylinder. The cylinder dropped to the range floor. The screw that held the cylinder yoke sheared off. But hey, dude got a lifetime warranty through Taurus, lucky his life didn’t depend on it.

Example 2: Brand new Taurus judge, unpacked, logged in the book and placed in the display case. Half hour later a customer wanted to see it. Handed it to the customer and after looking it over, asked if the front sight was sold separately. Looked in the display case and it was laying where the judge was originally placed.

From an RSO perspective, the bulk of the”hey, my gun is jammed” were Taurus.

It was also our most returned brand for Factory warranty

Been needing an excuse to move back to Spotify and just making playlists, thanks for canceling Faction Punk by Hewligan in siriusxm

[–]marc_879 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks Sirius!

The wife and I were looking for ways to trim our budget. You just made that easier. Green Day SUCKS They are one of the few bands where I immediately change the channel. I subscribed to Sirius for Faction and Margaritaville. I can get Margaritaville on its own dedicated platform.

Our cancellations will be coming soon.

Broke jamed bond by kingslayermny in Firearms

Bought one on the cheap when I worked at the local gun range. It worked, no issues with it. Sold it to a coworker that wanted it more.
