Anyone here into firearms?

What press do you use? I'm sure you mentioned it way back when, but being old and senile, I forgot...



I use a Hornady LNL progressive, but I still have a couple of RCBS Rockchuckers hanging around.

I'm also an owner of a Beretta 92fs Italy Inox.

I just bought two great pistols. Before I say what they are.... I own 5 steel and aluminum. Pistols. I hate polymer guns. Particularly striker fired pistols. I'm old school in that sense.

I'm not a polymer pistol fanboy of any type. When I bought the Walther PPQ, I thought it was the end all be all to my polymer pistol purchase until I shot a Sig P320 compact and my mouth just opened at the ridiculous accuracy of this pistol from first to last shot. Slow fire or rapid fire. The Sig P320 was AMAZING. Sold the PPQ got the P320.

On the side note I bought the best brand new gun in the universe for $209.00 The Taurus PT111 G2. Wow can that thing perform for its price point. I put it up against the Smith & Wesson Shield and Glock 26. I just couldn't justify buying anything else considering all the guns are half plastic.
The Taurus with a 3.2 inch barrel shoots a 1inch wider group than my Beretta and CZ 75B. It's just amazing. I have one mag with hornady 115 grcritical defense, another mag with Winchester ranger T 124+p.
Both I range tested and both performed phenomenal. Just thought I'd throw this in.

Honestly I'd love to get a .38 revolver instead but revolvers are expensive as **** from what I've seen.

anyone have any experience with Taurus revolvers? I'm looking at one of their .357 magnums right now

My wife has a snub nose Taurus .38 special that works like a dream. It's super light and great for carrying... but the .38 doesn't punch like a .357 would.

I have a Colt Trooper (.357)... I wouldn't carry it due to the size and weight, but it's a fantastic shooter and didn't break the bank. Taurus has come a long way with their quality over the years, but If I had to pick between a Colt and A Taurus when it comes to revolvers, I'd go with the Colt.

Just my $0.02.

Carrying doesn't matter to me because New Jersey. It'll see mainly range time. I'm just looking for something that's not going to **** up. I've heard mixed things about Taurus but this .357 is so tempting

Is it tempting because of the looks or because of the way it fires? Revolvers are one of the most reliable handguns you can get, so I wouldn't worry about the Taurus messing up during normal shooting.

The best advice (as always) is to shoot as many different models and makes as you can. The answer to which one is best for you becomes much easier after that. I used to think I really wanted a particular gun (based on looks and reviews mostly) and then when I actually shot it, I found that it didn't really work for my grip and shooting style. Hands on practice and range time are always going to be the best indicators of what works for you.

I have a Taurus 608 which is a 8 shot .357 mag revolver. Haven't shot it in forever because it is broken. The cylinder locks are weak on some Taurus revolvers.

lmfao hell no. You're technically supposed to have a firearm license to own airsoft guns. No carry at all unless you can prove you NEED to carry (and they'll decide if you have a legit reason to carry. My friend who was military police for 4 years doesn't qualify for carry.)

I guess it's changed since Aaron Burr was packing.

Yup. Not allowed to own more than three pistols, you need to give two references for each one you get. You can get as many rifles as you want though.

I know there are haters out there for this particular series due to the fanboy nature of the marketing surrounding it, but for anyone out there who hasn't tried them yet, the SIG Sauer Legion series is more than hype.

The P226 Legion in 9mm is probably the finest pistol I've ever shot or owned. The work they've done on the trigger and ergonomics of the controls are second to none.

DeliriousClam

I'd love a P226
