Firearm BS thread

Hit the internals with some flitz...

 

Or get ya a case of ammo and shoot the hell out of it until it smooths out! Which will be infinitely more fun (and expensive) than the flitz. I've done a few .25 cent trigger jobs (and a couple $$ trigger jobs) on Glocks, and polishing helps.

 

Help me out: First .22 rifle for a 7 year old. Do I go with a single shot bolt action to get the process down (Like a Cricket) or something he can grow into (like a 10/22)?

 

I recommend the 10/22. Single shot bolt actions are boring and will make your child lose interest. Semi auto with 25rds is much more fun.

 

The last Taurus Pistol I bought was in 1990, it was a new PT-92 great shooting pistol (still have it) but Taurus quality sure has went downhill. Trade that thing in for something you like and trust.
I recently traded in a Ruger LC9 with a terrible trigger, for a LC9s and solved my bad trigger problem. Just my .02

 

10/22, for the same reasons @Buyashotgun said!
And he can have it for a lifetime of memories and still use it as an adult

 

If he ever decides it's a little boring as is there are worlds of possibilities to modify too. I have my 10/22 setup now for long range silhouette matches shooting 200 meters, keeps things fun for sure.

 

How cheap is cheap?

 

I own a Taurus PT738 .380. The gun is close to 5 years old never had a issue with feeding I managed to drop a 125LB Hog at 15 yards with it so I'll continue to buy there guns.

 

I think this thing is going to be OK. removed the slide and worked the trigger for 2 hours last night while watching TV, getting better.........I think the issue I have / had is with the trigger safety. Need to pull straight back to fully disengage the trigger safety. any sideways pressure while pulling, has a slight catch mid pull.

 

i mean you can always send it back to Taurus the are located in miami now instead of Brazil not sure how well the customer service is or if you speak spanish LOL but its worth a shot no pun intended.

 

Haha, yeah, I have contemplated that. If I feel I need to I will, dont want it to get hung up for a very long time with them. have read a lot about very long warranty turnaround. gonna shoot it again this weekend and give it another.......wait for it......shot

 

I almost just bought this gun on black Friday at Academy sports they were running a 2 gun special for 289. The guns were the taurus and 22 LR revolver. I do recall reading that the gun does have a long trigger pull instead of a heavy trigger.

 

They make a nice wheel gun but I wouldn't buy their semi auto pistols

 

yep, I liked that one too., the FDE is exclusive to Academy I think. Bass pro matched cabelas price of 219 stianelss slide, and some promo credit card stuffs, out the door for 188. I am ok with long trigger pull.

 

I've been tempted to pick up a Taurus 605 but I've been hesitant with the limited experience I've had with the brand which has been semis that I have not been at all impressed with.

 

Yeah I don't mind a long trigger pull. My Savage .270 hunting rifle has a long trigger pull. It just takes some time getting use to. I think every gun you buy you should become familiar and comfortable with it so shooting it becomes 2nd nature.

 

my other carry is a kahr CW9, dao, long smooth trigger. it works for me

 

The Kahr is a great well manufactured pistol.

 

I love it, very nice. my only gripe, is low capacity. 7+1. hence my quest for something with a bit more capacity.
