Ahhh, apparently my benefactor status was not up to date.

Nice comparison. On my Hellcat setup the rear sight on the Holosun 407 k x2 would be too low. Fortunately the iron sights on the Hellcat are quite visible through the window of the Holosun. For some reason I can not seem to post a picture of it

I can see using Blazer aluminum to save money shooting a lot. It is hardly what I would evaluate a firearm with.

old thread which had already replied to Dumb ole me.

Have found one problem and it has to do with a proper owb holster for competition. Because of the red dot being so far forward on this model it will be hard to get a holster with any kind of grip on the frame. There is one mfr, forgedttech, with a kydex model I will try. Doubt that anything will hold it tight enough for any kind of carry. Not that it is meant for that anyway.

Yeah the iron sights are funky. Mine is red dot so no problems. If you want to shoot irons the Victory is better, imo

Well that got you to look This is about the Taurus TX 22 Comp (T-reX 22) Am by no means a Taurus thumper, but they seem to be making some good semi-auto's lately. My first handgun was a new Ruger Mark 1 bull barrel, late 60's. Shot the heck out of it but never loved the trigger or grip angle. Also, had S&W K-22, Hi-Standard, Buckmark, gosh knows what else through the years. About a year ago a S&W Victory became mine, good gun. For years was a centerfire snob, considering .22's below my handgun FUN standards. The S&W Victory gave me some love back for that caliber. The cost of reloading supplies and factory ammo also played a big part. A few weeks ago I picked up a TAURUS TX22 from LGS. Mine is the competetion version but does not have a compensator. Promptly put a Vortex Venom red dot on it. Had some ammo problems first time out, but it soon became apparent that this little .22 was a real smooth and reliable shooter. It is quite accurate and seems to readily digest Rem and Fed ammo. The trigger works quite well for steel targets. I prefer the Victory for slow fire bullseye, mostly due to the heavier weight and crisper trigger. Am probably going to upgrade the trigger shortly to eliminate the long take-up on the Taurus. Went out today to shoot a hundred or so rounds at the action-pistol range. 230 rounds later I had to make myself get back into my car and drive away. Am not saving money if shooting that much ammo so quickly. This little gun is totally addictive. Just keep wanting me to put another mag in and ring some more steel. Taurus revolvers have been hit and miss in my experience. Twenty or so years ago had a model 85 and loved it as a edc. Have read stories of the newer revolvers locking up or not firing, so never did try another one for carry. (Please don't post how good yours has been. Am just saying that was my impression) Decided to try the G3c awhile ago as Bud's had them at a affordable price. I love that gun as it fits my hand so well. Conceals ok and shoots quite well (re-did sights). It is not my edc as I generally prefer my S&W Bodyguard .38 or Hellcat for conceal-ability. Taurus is really stepping up its game lately...IMO Would definitely buy this again. Might start shooting steel challenge with it. My T-Rex 22 is made in GA too.

^ What Jayhawker said. Have shot two different generations of full auto Thompsons. One quite a few times. If you keep them to a three round burst (trigger control) they will decimate the center of a target.

Unusual to see non-checkered S&W grips....NICE!

AMERICA's RIGHT ARM! ******************* Nice to see a dream come true. And such a great weekend for it. Still has a gorgeous finish on it. If it were mine, I would take off that cylinder release and wipe the smudge between it and the back of the cylinder wall (Obsessive Cleaning Disorder of mine) Thanks for sharing the pic of a great gun.

America's Right Arm

Guess it is interesting? Quite a bit more weight. Quite a bit more cost. Hey, did they ever figure out how to put a good trigger on the M&P (humor).

Let us know how you like it? Does it function well at the range?

Growing out the collection I see. Best of luck

Pardon my thread kidnapping, but watched our fearless leader yesterday state that AR's are not needed by citizens because they won't stop an F-22. Apparently, ole smudge pants forgets his teachers saying: Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. Worked pretty well in Vietnam. Doubt that any of the Ukranian fighters would turn in their AK's because of Joe's bedazzling claim.

Look online at section 8 of form 4473 . If all are No then he should be ok to go. Nothing however is assured with the ATF.

Will, pretty well covered it. Some try to make cheaper versions of the Glock system. A few try to sell tricked out versions of a standard Glock. The latter will be higher in cost, Look at the history of revolvers or bolt action rifles. Once someone comes out with a design that works, everyone tries to build on that engineering. Either offering fancier or cheaper products. it's life.

Wow, haven't seen the American Eagle for sale at the stores here. That's one I might have trust as well. Thanks for the heads up.

On further examination the great Golden Eagle may be on to something. upon close up inspection there seems to be the remains of the lower half of a circular piece of tape. Faint and hard to see the top of the box had no sign of tape on it wonder if it got played with at the store of course that does not explain the empty Unfired case

Great idea, but what you see in the picture is the side of the box. It opens from the end with the blue painters tape on it which was added today. The end where it opens from had no tape. Just a simple pull out tab. Hummm, come to think of it it should have had tape on it

Yeah, neither have I. That's why I posted it. Can not imagine how that happened in production.

Federal has been a go to for reliability. However this box of 22's are problematic. This is ammo purchased new 5/22 and appears to be of recent manufacture though I did not check the lot number online (wasn't cheap either). In the first 150 rounds had four bad rounds of ammo. Taurus TX22 Comp -- 100 rounds Failure to eject, could be the gun as it was the first round out of it. Failure to extract due to a clear tape attached to the cartridge case. Had to use forceps to get it out of chamber. Found another round like that with tape on it, but just threw it away. One round found in box with no bullet or primer in it. S&W Victory - 50 rounds Out of 50 rounds, had one failure to fire which went off on second try. Not unusual for 22 though so not including it in count. Never had box of ammo with tape on the rounds, or empty cases for that mater. So if you are thinking of stocking up with the prices coming down, you may want to take note of my recent experience.

Just to complicate matters, cause I'm good at that; Is your striker fired gun fully or partially cocked with a round in the chamber? 65%-98%-100% I know my 1911's are fully cocked, unless I put them in the half-cocked position. Yeah...too much time on my hands. To the OP, it doesn't really matter if you shoot the gun well. And feel safe carrying it with a round up.

Striker for carry Hammer for range Although for IDPA striker still wins. That is because the precise light trigger pull of a hammer fired gun is of small value when running and gunning Not having to deal with an external safety while drawing or holstering is an advantage — for me at least JMO, your mileage Mary vary

Dang, you're on the other side of the State from me (East TN)
