That's a beauty! Makes me wish for better funding!

Thanks, but a bit far for a visit for me at this time. Maybe someday.

I did go ahead and order(pre-order actually) the FS Package with the sight cut, viridian dot, and the 3 extra mags. It will be a wait, possiblly 2 months. Depends on Taurus shipping schedules. But was the package that interested me. Wouldn't be my first mistake if something goes south on it. AND...it wouldn't be beyond me to get the compact for my "wife".

Very much understood. I should have added that we met with the young man first and got good "vibes" from him. I know that's not necessarily a good thing to go by. But we did. Like many here, face-to-face conversations, and first impressions are an indicator for us as to how someone is recieved. Still...it is a risk. I understand.

I know this is an old thread. Just throwing out a tale of a recent conversation. My wife is having PT in home. The caregiver is a 6' male. Muscled up pretty good. So his scrubs tend to be a bit tight. Well for a half dozen or so sessions, and several comments from him on my tee shirts ( Glock, Royal Range, and several from We the People Holsters), I said one day as he was leaving...Hey you're printing pretty strongly, what are you carrying? "Huh" was his first comment. You can tell? He seemed genuinely surprised that I could tell. Not that I'm extremely observant, his body type and short scrub top made It pretty easy. So we talked a bit about carry methods and positions for a bit. He laughed and said he usually did appendix carry with a Shield 9. We hope to da a little shooting together soon. He wants to try one of my Caniks. Oh, for the record. OWB about 3:30 in a leather holster, with an oversize, loose shirt.

Where are you located? Thanks.

If I lived nearby...lol! That's a good price i believe.

I agree. The BDA was the second pistol I ever bought, and I still have it. Don't ask about the first. I hated it. Told my dealer and made such a stink over it that he gave me the full price toward the BDA. Have both the 84and the 81. I kinda like the 81 better. But I've always liked the 32 round.

Thanks. Ky gun Co has an "order" if I understand it correctly on a T.O.R.O. FS with TB, Extra mags, and viridian green dot. Seems like it was 329. I think I'm going to go for it.

Nice of you buddy, but I can't either. Back issues and a big family gathering I'm preparing for on Sunday. Just let Sean know, I'm sure he will work with you on this. He's a good man to deal with. I have several times and have been very happy about it.

Looking for a Taurus TX-22 Compact. Anyone have one to sell? Give it a few days before I purchase new. Thanks for looking.

PM with Question sent.

Just in case...I'll be your backup buyer old friend.

Is this available? And might you have any trade interests for it?

LOL! That's Great!!

Looks fine to me! Better than mine anyway!

Can't speak to the Magnum Research product, but having had the Smith 22WMR since it's release, I feel confident in my comments on it. Initially, I couldn't get 3 rounds in a row out of it without a misfeed, a stovepipe, or a failure to go into battery. I followed their recommendation and used only 30/50 grain CCI, Fiocchi, Hornady, and Speer ammo. It made no difference whether mixed in the mag or all one brand. I didn't load 30. Always stopped at 25 rounds. I almost wanted to trash the pistol! Even contacted S&W Service about a return or replacement. All the glowing reports from reviewers had me very perplexed. Was this a fluke or a normal occurrance? I guess I got an honest tech when I called. After a long conversation, I was told to send it back if I wanted. I was not the first to complain on it. However he did suggest that if I like the idea of the pistol...invest a bit more time and a lot more money in ammo for it. Also start at 15 rounds and slowly work up on the number of rounds in the mags. I did that. Second 300 rounds saw a bit of a change in feeding from the mag. Didn't get above 20 loaded until I finished those. I have between 700-800 rounds thru mine now and it has gotten more reliable. Still don't load more than 25 in the mags. I'm using ONLY 40 grain jacketed ammo, and pretty much Fiocchi and Hornady. Feeding is better. Still the occassional stovepipe, and still usually at least once a mag the slide will be slightly out of battery. A light tap normally cures it. I do feel better about it now. Enough so that I'm keeping it and plan on a little time with some flitz cloth on suspect surfaces. It is fun to shoot, and it is better than the Keltec 22 WMR. LOL! But...if you want a dependable, fun to shoot, and a good trigger...buy a Walther! Yes, I really think it's a much better pistol than the Smith if you want a 22 Magnum shooter. Walther recommends 30 grain and above, no polymer tip bullets, and absolutely no Agulia. My personal preference just for fun shooting is Fiocchi 40 grain. If for serious work, Speer Gold Dot 40 or CCI Maxi 45 grain segemented rounds. I may yet decide to let go of the Smith. I'm that pleased with the Walther. Good luck with yours.

Just needs to spill the one in her mouth so we can assess her other qualifications!

You're buying it for me? Thanks. You know where to deliver it. lol

Sure wish we weren't so far apart! I'd take this in a heartbeat!

And a nice one at that!

Quite right. I have books I bought at least 10 years ago that I haven't picked up since bringing them home. My wife on the other hand...cleans stacks of books. Thereby messing up my reading order. I may never finish them all.

Those are the Biden gals. Stay away from them, or face the wrath of Hunter and family.

SAD. Martin Mull was a very great, but under-rated...actor. He never failed to deliver a performance that enhanced any movie, TV show, or comedy concert he was in. Sort of a Billy Connelley type before it was hip to be sharp and funny. His work in "Clue" alone should earn him much recognition.

I still have one of the "Steel" kits. Always thought I'd try and put it together. LOL! Never got around to it. Maybe I should offer it to you as a partial trade on something!?!?
