I know. But for it's size/price I haven't found anything better. I've had my heart set on one for a while now. I need something small like that to carry on a day to day basis. Lugging around a full size handgun is kinda ridiculous unless you're expecting to get into a big gunfight or something.

Do you have CCW in AZ or do you just open carry?

You liar, you didn't do anything but shoot it.


Just remember to field strip any gun you get and clean, inspect and oil regardless if it's new or not.

im going to have to agree with max, i believe you really did just shoot it straight out of the cardboard box it came in.

just remember this for your next firearm: letting loose a gun right out of the box multiply the round you shot by 12 and thats how much more wear you have put on it.

so 100x12=1200 rounds put through that brand new gun... mmm sex.

Um, both the smith and wessons I bought came pre-oiled and test fired. What more do you think you're gonna do to it, Mcguyver?

They oil it for one shot? Wow.

It's a safe habit to practice. Famialize yourself with field stripping the gun.

firearms that are covered in oil is not for lubrication that is assembly oil/cutting oil. did you ever notice that the oil is dried to the bag that your firearm came in? thats because its not for lubrication its made for creation and assembly only. ever notice that little puddle from your lubricating oil leaking off the bottle DOESN'T dry?

a test round is just to show the firearm has been fired for
1.) grooves/twist
2.) amount of turns
3.) function
its called ballistics it has to be recorded by every firearm producer and sent to records with your firearms serial number. they dont fire it to make you feel warm and cozy there they do it because its required.

honestly you saying that is like saying "hey i just built this engine its lubed from the assembly lube, ---- the oil, start it up."

the funniest part is, you sell products for lubrication and don't take proper precautions of lubrication of your own equipment.

9mm Baby Eagle. I havent found an excuse to buy another handgun since I have owned this one. IMO, high velocity round combined with hollow points = good stopping power. My $.2.

OMG, who would have thought I didn't actually go get my PHD in "Putting Oil on ----" to sell some oil lines on the net. If I had, maybe I would care to argue your theory about firing a gun out of the bag in a wreckless attempt to show the internet you're no gun inventor.
