I think the manual says somewhere to clean and lube it about 1500 to 2000 rounds. Dayum, seems like a lot but I'm guessin we'll have that down range before the end o the month!
I just now swizzled it with a squooch of WD40. Wiped out the bore with hoppes. Worked the handle about 40 times and wiped out the breech with a Kleenex.
I watched the disassembly video. Its why I squizzled it with wd40 for now!
I think we'll be much happier with this 1x24 scope for quick accurate work at any range we can see. Much brighter than irons, no batteries to die, no windshield glass to break, no brightness knob to to fiddle with, no forgetting to turn it on when under stress and with all those advantages over...
GoodWife just got a Desert Digital Hipoint 995 9mm Carbine. (For Valentines she got a Titanium KSG 15 shot pump). I think with the beach trip in July I'm in good for the year!
She likes it a lot. With luck, off to the range tomorrow to workout with both. The 9mm carbine was a moment of clear...
I found out the hard way, giving this one a cleaning that the side plate screw heads are tender. Two of the three twisted off with very little torque on reassembly. Not easy to find and I did not call Rossi figuring they don't cover the old Interarms Models. However, Taurus parts to the...
Just finished putting in the Wolf J Frame reduced power spring kit. I went with the 8 lb hammer spring and the 13 lb rebound spring. The fit of the Wolf J Frame Springs is perfect. Although the 13 lb rebound spring is long and looks like it won't fit w/o binding, it goes in fine and works...
Just finished installing the Wolf S&W J Frame spring kit on this one. I went with the 8 lb hammer spring and the 13 lb rebound spring. The fit of the Wolf S&W J Frame springs is perfect. The 13 lb rebound spring is long and looks like it won't fit w/o binding but like a glove, it slid right...
A busy evening. I just finished putting new wolf springs in this one and the Mod 605 listed on the reviews board. Very similar and satisfying results as written up on the Taurus Snub 44. This 85 finished out 8 pounds double action and just under 2.5 lbs single action.
A busy evening. I just finished putting new wolf springs in this one and the Mod 85 listed on the reviews board. Very similar and satisfying results as written up on the Taurus Snub 44. This 605 finished out 9 pounds double action and just under 3 lbs single action.
Update. Settled down in NC now and while still looking for a suitable family oriented range/club I took a few minutes tonight to put a set of Wolf reduced power springs in this one. No polishing of the guts yet but I installed the 10lb trigger return spring and the 11lb main spring. I didn't...
For my 47th Happy Birthday my loving Wife got me a new Crossman Titan GP Air Rifle and 500 hunting hollowpoints. Woo Hoo! It comes with a fixed 4 power scope with one inch tube and 32mm objective. The rings are aluminium Weaver style and mount pretty solid on the groove cut in the receiver...
I picked up a blue, snub nose Windicator in 38 Special. Its okay overall. The frame is alloy but suprizingly heavy for alloy. It has steel inserts cast in place at the recoil shield and at the topstrap over the barrel/cylinder gap. Good design I think since the Alloy used is zinc. The...
A pre-Thunder model made only in 1994-1995. Matt black and matching alloy frame. The 7 shot 95 series is a bit ligher than the current alloy 380 Thunder. 107 rds were fired at 10 yds (100 fmj and 7 MagTec JHP +P). Accuracy is superb. Much more like a full size auto than a compact. It was not...
Blue snub w/2" bbl. 5 shot 38 Special. An older Interarms model w/rubber grip, pin in hammer nose and LNIB. Fired 50 rds (125 JHP and 158 LSWC) at 10 yards. The trigger is fine enough, about 11 lbs but smooth and clean. Better than the Smith 642-2 I evaluated today. Overall finish is excellent...
Short hand today-stuck w/B-berry. Alum frame, black stainless cylinder, 1 7/8" bbl w/Mag-n-port. Overall, I'm luke warm after the 1st 50 rds down range. It's small, light, tight and controlable w/125 JHP and 158 LSWC at 10 meters. Accuracy is typical great close range - all 50 in a coffee cup...
I agree. But, I think the P11 will be the carry gun. I just ordered two more magazines and now looking for a quick/comfortable outside the waist band holster to use strong side or cross draw. I think the night stand gun will be the Sig P250 9mm. It has the night sights and can be outfitted...
The stamped trigger is not too bad and holds up well enough. Taurus makes metal injection molded parts for their guns and is a major supplier of MIM parts for a number of Big Name American gun manufacturers. Really what these revolvers need is a bit of a tune up. A light polish of the...
I picked up a BlackHawk Serpa CQC holster for this one. Nice fit, adjustable tension on the finger release and it is as easy to chop a Serpa holster to length as to grip chop a Glock Pistol. The holster I picked up was long enough to cover the full length slide of the full size P250. My...
I got the free spare magazine (6 rounder) that was on the Smith/Walther site. The promotion was for those that purchased by 31 May 2010. There were lots of complaints about delays in receipt of the Walther magazines but mine was at the door in early July. Only about 6 weeks. Pretty good...
Never a problem with 6 of the Taurus revolvers. Note: the trigger return has 3 clicks as the locking bolt and sear levers reset. Not releasing the trigger far enough will lock the works at click #2 until you fully release the trigger past click #3 in preparation f/the next shot. I suppose weak...
