I've never had a Taurus I liked.
For the Springfield XD Mod2, do you think i should go with a 9mm, .40, or .45? My dad gave me his Tauraus 92AF so i already have a 9mm. Should i just keep the same bullet type or is better to have variety.
Unless you just want different calibers I would just stay with 9mm.
My father bought a Taurus PT111G2 in 9mm and honestly, it's a pretty good gun.
It's small enough to easily carry but big enough to hang onto, it's just about the perfect size.
Sights are decent, second strike in case of a failure to fire, comes with two 12 round magazines & Sig P226 magazines fit & function perfectly as well. Those can be had from 15-20 round capacity.
Holster selection is getting better due to a rise in popularity.
I've never seen my father's have a failure & he's never told me about any.
Best part is they can be had for less than $300. Had I not got my Glock 23 at such a good price I was seriously considering buying one.
He also has a PT92 that's pretty much been flawless.
I have an M66 revolver that's ok, it goes bang every time but the ejector rod occasionally sticks & no one
Seems to be able to fix it.
Anywho, everything I've personally seen & read makes my say the PT111 G2 is a winner.
I try not to come across as too much of a fan boy but yeah...9mm FTW. In my mind, it hits all the sweet spots:
-Controllable? Check.
-Affordable? Check
-Good for both strong and weaker shooters? Check.
-Effective ammo on the market? Check.
-Weapon size + maximum capacity? Check.
With ammo technology being what it is, I just don't see why someone would want another round. There's ammo commonly on the market from 115-147 grain, +P, +P+, JHP, bonded...you name it. Range time is also cheaper which is a huge plus.
I mean seriously, pick your poison:
147 grain:

Every last one of those are superb self defense ammo and all under $30/box for 50 rounds. That 9BPLE at $18/50 is a freaking steal.
Went to pickup my guns at Cabelas & waited 3hrs. I finally was at the final stage & then i was told the whole NICS background went down. People were pissed off, does it usually take this long? Also my handgun, they say i have to wait for 7-10 days delay for background check to come back. Looks like i have to do the whole process over again for my AR556 if the NICS background dont come back up before it closes. So dumb.

I work part time at one.
The problem is twofold.
First, they changed the way we handle firearms sales. It was slow to begin with but the new shit corporate has us doing makes it worse.
It also doesn't help that theirs never enough sales guys available.
Second, the "improved" nics check system is as reliable as a Clinton in a truth telling contest.
Working there & getting fast tracked still takes over an hour to get it all done.
Please don't get mad at the employees, I guarantee they hate the way it's (not) going just as much as you.
Maybe its just my area but a lot of the employee at the gun area were really snobish & rude. I had to take a number for them to even talk to me or even for a quick question. Mostly the old white guys. When i was told that it was down, a lot of people were upset & started complaining. The employee that was ringing me up felt bad that i had to wait for so long. I got lucky as he called me up later that night that the NICS went backed up. I got there & he took care of me without having to wait so i ended up going home w/ my Ruger AR-556.
Now i have to figure out what type accessories i need to pickup. Any recommendations/stores

I've been running $6 a 20/rd box tulammo through mine with no problems, might require a bit more cleaning but I'm saving a lot at the amount I'm buying.
Yeah...that's at $.30/rd...you can far better than that elsewhere. I'd seriously look at that Wolf Gold...a whopping $.01/rd more than what you're giving for that filthy Tula.
I'm buying tula at a physical location minutes from my house though, I should be buying online but honestly I'm bad at gauging how much ammo I'm gonna run through and often find myself needing something now.

No offense, why is this thread on this forum?

Because people like firearms and this particular forum is for miscellaneous, unrelated topics. Maybe I don't understand the question.

You wouldn't understand ya Limey douche. This isn't the "nightstick enthusiast thread", now is it?
