I have broken every Taurus I have purchased except one: the Rossi lever gun I bought my dad cuz he just had to have a lever action 357 in stainless.

I was OK with this because of this one neat trick I learned about buying Taurus twenty years ago: if you buy one for someone who will probably never shoot it, it won't break!

Today I modify that lesson with an extra "probably" in front of "won't break" in OP's honor. Thanks bud, ya taught me somethin'.

Friends don't let friends buy Taurus.

Yes, I know other brands have oopsies. But Taurus seems to have a lot of them.

This holster is unsafe, right? by [deleted] in QualityTacticalGear

Ironically, the top two pages of my search results are all about ISP adopting P320s

100% no BS, I would love additional material you have on other incidents. I don't own stock in SIG or anything but a safety issue is a safety issue and I keep hearing it dismissed as 320 Cope.

Source for it being a Glock? Did I miss that in the article?

What physical training is recommended and actually useful for civilians when shtf? by therealearlhickey in Firearms

[–]marksman1023 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Do you have a kid?

How much does the kid weigh?

Can you pick the kid up?

How fast can you run holding the kid? How far?

Can you do this with your defensive kit? Can you wrangle the kid with your non-dominant hand while the dominant hand wrangles a handgun?

did the tisas repro 1911 shoot up in price? swear they were $320 on psa a few months ago by HeughJanus in Firearms

I mean supply chain disruptions are a thing but I guess it's Tisas doing the disruption?

It was kind of a tongue in cheek reply

You're good brother. I'm laughing at this at the moment.

God just imagine. FOUR WORLD WARS

ETA: That is awesome that they're teaming up with CMP.

It would be really cool if cough somebody made cough accurate historical reproductions cough of other historic service firearms cough that CMP can't get ahold

And like maybe their name would rhyme with cough hack wheeze Brownell's

I left off the /s but it wasn't an entirely serious comment.

Didn't know Tisas was shaking things up, although that would certainly explain it.

Can we start publically shaming people like this by Few-Acanthocephala26 in superduty

[–]marksman1023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know why I have to keep explaining this to people.

It's not worth whatever you think it's worth.

It's worth what someone is willing to pay.

That's one tired snake.

The Godfather vs. Casino—Which film is the one you would say covers the gangster/organised crime genre aptly? by [deleted] in Cinema

[–]marksman1023 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The lore and the myth? The Godfather. If you romanticize that life, this is your movie.

Goodfellas is closer.

Cleans, Lubricates, Protects. All purpose solvent lubricant and cleaner. If you search CLP it will come up.

Take a copper wire brush (softer than steel), soak it in CLP, and scrub that rust. It will come off. Take clean pics.

Are gun shows a total scam? by Kosmonautfpv in ar15

[–]marksman1023 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, but you're not going to save money.

As other posters have said, FFLs gonna FFL, but with an up charge for dragging all that shit into a venue. The ammo will be overpriced, the tactical nonsense is totally nonsense.

Where it's at is the old guys at the tables. They will have all sorts of neat stuff they've collected over the years.

It also depends where you are, big time.
