Taurus 9mm
 
Why are they substantially cheaper?
I was looking at a 9mm and liked the feel, but is it a POS?
getting good and bad feedback of the net just wondering what anyone int the know thinks.

I have a pt24/7 and I like it, good gun for the price and still cheaper than a glock, also has single and double action, if a round does fire you can pull the trigger again and hopefully strike the primer again firing the round. Another benefit of double action is I can load a round, decock the gun and still have it ready to fire double action. Keepng it like that makes me feel safer knowing I'm not keeping a cocked gun with me that may accidentaly go off.


As far as jams I've had 2 or three in ~800 rounds and one was because remington forgot to drill a hole in the casing where the primer contacts the powder, the other 1 or 2 were from firing reloads.

I've got the Millennium Pro in .40 cal (that's it in my avatar)

I wanted the 24/7 but I needed the smaller Millennium series because I have a CWP for work.

I've put more than 4000 rounds though it and it's never had a problem....even shooting cheap ass plinking ammo (just make sure to clean it after). Like stated above, lifetime warranty, they aren't ------- around.

Whats something like that worth? We don't use guns up here in Canada, we just throw icecubes at each other.

I paid $321 for mine after tax about a year ago. The price has gone up slightly since then.

Handguns are for business though, i bought this for fun :6

Are you guys in law enforcement or something? If not, where do you live that you have to have a gun on you to protect your life?

2nd amendment. what good are rights if you arent going to use them? give them up and they will eventually get taken away

i rock a S&W Sigma 9mm. very nice gun, very cheap, never had a misfire. only problem is the ridiculous 9lb trigger pull ::)

I can carry a gun if i want to, i just have absolutely no reason to. I've never ever in my life been in a postion where i felt like i should have had a gun on me.

Its not that bad here, one person killed every 2 or 3 days, crime rate has dropped quite a bit. Doesnt mean im not holding a gun to protect myself from these nigs.

Re: Taurus 9mm
 
I've never even seen a gun anywhere but hunting or a shooting range, nobody in my high school carried guns, i've def never had a gun pulled on me. I agree tho, if i lived in Oakland i sure as ---- would be carrying as well

Just because you never saw them doesnt mean no one was packing when you were in high school.

I doubt any of those kids that went to VT were in law enforcement...

i never carried a gun in high school, but there was always a shotgun behind the seat of my truck. only time it left was when i was hunting, trap shooting, or doing drive-bys O0

Think I may get a sub compact .45 ACP of the Tuarus variety. 10+_1 in something that small??? 45s put nigs on their asses.. bleeding style. Probably get it instead of the HK I was going to buy for 300+ more.

I like the acp .45 but I like the Sig Sauer .45 better. I have some big hands, and I dont like the way my friends acp. .45 fits in my hand. The sig fits like a glove.

spiker youre a big dude and you probably have big hands, try holding a sub compact anything. youre pinky does not fit on the grip it ends up under the mag and its not comfortable a all and shooting something liek that with .45 ammo is not gonna be fun. i was gonna get a sub compact but i decided i wanted to be able to have a firm grip when im blasting caps. :6

but you got to remember when your have a barrell that short, what is that like 1.5'', your not goign to have the same ammount of recoil as out of a 4''1911

You also have to reload a revolver twice as often... No thanks.

sub compacts have 3" barrels. its going to be worse because the gun is so muvh smaller and you dont have as much handle on it. a bigger gun absorbs some of the recoil.

not necessarily. revolver is what 6 rounds? i know my sig only holds 8 as most handguns do. glocks and fatter guns are the only ones that hold more because theey have a staggered magazine. i agree though revolvers are kinda gay.

That wouldn't be a bad choice... Biggest cal I've ever shot was a .45, I bet the desert eagle would kick :6 I've wanted a desert eagle ever since metal gear solid came out on ps1 ::) :P

My friend showed me a gun one day, it was supposed to be 13mm shells in a handgun? I guess not many exist..custom jobs? On top of that it was like 35 lbs :-X I don't know how any normal person is supposed to wield such a hand cannon but I'd love to have one just to have it :P

Thats why I like sig, It shoots really nice. and its not as big as a colt 1911
