Yep...I liked it as well! Now in reference to the mag issues on the Scorpion, I'm not familiar with the issue. But a solution would, I think, been to have bought multiple mags back years past and not need to search for more! I know people who do such strange things.

Be still my pounding heart! Loved these! Wish I could take it! -
This WTB is closed. But have placed request for another one!

Thanks guys, I had so much great luck last time on the Walther 22WMR Pistol... I need to find another one. A buddy of mine now has the itch for one. Saw mine and is in love with it. So if one is available, lets talk. Thanks for looking.

Since my wife's neuropathy has gotten so bad, we tend to stay up later than normal people. But I have to leave her watching tv...I can't stand the constant replays of Blue Bloods and Hallmark movies! Hence my late night hours as well.

Me every night for the past few weeks! Bug eyed and drowsy until I hit the bed. Then wide awake. Solution? Go back to TGO and prowl around some more!

Broken allen wrench in set screw

I did it this way once, but it wasn't on a firearm part. Took some tiny cheap screwdrivers and checked till I found one just bigger than the space on the break. I beat the heck out of it actually, but got it out. I was working with an old hazmat cabinet that I rescued from a dumpster. Got one good one that needed a new back on it, and one that looked like it had been run over with a tank. I'm Cheap! Wasn't going to let it get away from me. Been a dumpster diver most of my life. -
Just a Glock? Any 9mm model? As in a standard compact?

Fixed it for ya! LOL

Yes. 'Nuff said!

Two bazookas and a pistol. The well armed lady.

Too late..she's gone. I had put it out to a friend, so I went ahead. There will always be another of some kind to tempt me!

I sort of regret it, but I followed thru on the sale. I had already offerred it and it's done. May (Probably) try for another when I sell off something else. Finishing off property taxes took precedence.

Never looked at it that way...but that might just be right! LOL

You guys are making me have second thoughts on selling my P365XL!

Why they tell you not to go to the grocery store hungry.

On-line auctions are dangerous to your health. Don't ask how I know this. -
Would you ship it for another 5? Total 15. Do PayPal?

Maybe. But...I got into Taurus in the late 80s and early 90s while I was slinging auto parts. Always found a shop tech with something to sell. Oddly, most often I bought Taurus pistols. Usually they were bought pretty cheap. The best ones that I found, and kept, were the PT 92(Beretta clone in black), The PT100, same but in 40 cal. Also several 1911s. I've kept the SS model, wish I'd kept the black/blue one. They've all been good and dependable for range guns. Would I use for edc? If I had no other choices...yes. But I'm blessed to not need that option. Also had several of the poly PT111 and PT145. The 111 was a bit off for accuracy. Made a good close range gun though. Mine I thought of as more of a belly gun. The 145, I still have, is awesome. Shoots well and is accurate as far as I can see to shoot. A bit heavy on recoil I admit though. More to the point, I think Taurus is a viable option for shooters. Not as cheaply made as they once were, but prices have gone up on some models. I hear good things on the G2 and G3 models, and now a G4 iscoming. I know of at least 2 lgs that sell a lot as entry level pistols, and also to a certain street element as well.

Your assessment is dead on! I've been a big fan of the PPQ since I traded into one. That was 3 guns ago. Still have them. Only one I didn't keep was the 45 cal model. It seemed too heavy for my taste, and the muzzle flip was pretty serious. I shot a G41 that was softer shooting and less rise. Got a 4" PDP. and it's awesome. Grip is perfect, though circumfrence is a bit larger than I like. In reading about the F series, I'm really attracted to it. Though first, and still marketed towards women shooters; I'm thinking it would be an obvious choice for me. Smaller grip, and trigger moved back a bit. Should be perfect for us guys with the medium size mitts. Also with the more agressive frame cuts for gripping; it should be easier for those of us with the old man's disease...arthritis, to grip and chamber the first round. Kudos and apologies to ken_mayes and TGODavid. I think I basically said the same thing you gus did. But...I'm one of Those guys...I like the finger grooves. lol.

Great pistol! Owned one for a while and traded to another buddy. (Yeah I do have a couple of friends. LOL Not many.) Anyway, the Model 41 is great, and so is tercel89! A standup guy all around. Dealt with him many times, always good man to deal with. Actually found a couple of my "buys" while rummaging around in the safe last night. Buy with the confidence of a Glock and a great member.

Friend, I wish I could offer some valuable advice that would help you, but I'm empty on anything for your situation. Do your recommended treatment regime, and do it as frequently as your therapist recommends. Darrel is right, follow therapist advice and ask about home frequency; as well as other exercises that might help. The only even remotely similar issue I've had was a torn tendon in 3rd finger, the one above pinky. Did all the required stuff, but still have a bent finger. It will not straighten out and has a pronounced "hook" to it. Not bad, just a bit irritating at times. It does affect my grip just a bit. I have to be aware of my grip, but otherwise ok. I offer my prayers for you recovery.

Right. Individuals comparing pistols side-by-side seems like the best way to decide and pick your the best for you. That's what I did with several various Shield modes, G43, and a Hellcat. Didn't have a 365 at the time. As you've heard me say before, I choose the Shield Plus Performance Center. As far as the Kahr pistols...deerslayer said it best for me. Good competitive choices, but I cannot take the trigger. Tried to like them, but cannot do it. Tried several times. Just not for me.

My first was a CZ75. Had heard the name form others, but knew very little about them. While walking a gun show, cira 2000, I noticed this pistol on an old "gentleman's" table. Stopped to look and ask about it. The reaction was something to the effect "I don't know anything about this. Never heard of them, but traded into it." Odd reaction from a known wheeler-dealer back then. I asked what the price was, and the response was "make me an offer." I just popped off 200 bucks, figuring I'd be told to get lost. Surprisingly, he said yes. This 75 appeared to be almost new. No scratches, clean bore, no sign of powder anywhere on it. Came in origional box and had the factory paperwork. So I forked over the cash and never looked back. It's been a great pistol and wish I could get a few more at that price!

Puts my pitiful family to shame!

I would think the grip would be similar to that of holding a rifle or a shotgun. I think what's throwing me is the asthetics of the bipod hanging of the front. I do like the profile, or what I think it would look like without the bi-pod.
