Gimme some ideas on a concealed......

[Jester]

My dad gave me a 6" Taurus Falcon .38 special last year that we found in the hoarder house he bought. It was buried in trash, covered with rat shit, had significant surface rust and generally looked a lot like something you would find in a swamp or in a river after several years. After a very basic quick cleaning of it to make sure the parts actually worked....I fired it a few times....well actually more like thru a box of 50. Even as nasty looking as it was...it NEVER failed to put a hole in the target. At this point I've cleaned it up as good as its gonna get...the only way to make it look good from all the corrosion now is to get it re-plated. I've put several hundred rounds (standard FMJ, JHP, and even a few +P) thru it and its never failed...not even once. If not for the long 6" barrel I would have no problem trusting it for CCW.

sandblast and powdercoat. powdercoat wrinkle black and make it look fuckin sinister.

I paid $419 for my 442 at CTD back in December. I was in there on Sunday and they wanted nearly $500 for the same gun.

I'm not gonna do anything to it....its just a nightstand gun (this is what it originally looked like....mine is FAR worse cosmetically...but it goes bang)

Yup leave it alone looks good

Youre drawing a fucking stupid argument here. When a gun doesnt work consistently, it shouldn't be trusted. Taurus .357 revolvers sell because they look like a smith and are cheaper. The world is full of people trying to justify buying cheap shit because it's "just as good". It's not, never will be. You want to carry a Jennings? Have at out, but don't run around telling people it's as good as a Glock just because you like it.

Im not going to respond to your ridiculous assertion that I should allow someone to shoot my car with a Taurus revolver.

If you buy a .38 j frame, and a .38 taurus, I will bet that in the sample size of one, the taurus will turn into a paperweight faster than the smith.

They'd both turn into a paper weight for me. I just dont care for revovlers.

But you still have proven a Taurus will not last as long as a smith. Oh I forgot, you read it on the internet so it must be true.

Like I said before if you honestly dont believe a taurus will work, take my challenge. I bet your car will get a hole in it if you do.

Guns are like cars, everyone has an opinion. KIA's can go well over 100k miles, and work just as good as a mercedes does in getting you to work.

A taurus works just like a Smith, they both shoot bullets and go bang over 99.99999% of the time

Damn, when I ordered my 642 from CTD in November last year it was $370 out the door.

Those are fucking JUNK, dude. Do not bother. I hunted high and low for a Charter Arms Bulldog that didn't feel like a cheap hunk of shit, and they all do. I'd swear the frame and cylinder are potted metal. The real reason you don't want to go cheap on a revolver is, when they go down, they go down HARD. A revolver whose works are going out of time is one that's a ticking time bomb, and that's why you want a good one. I actually trust the shit out of Ruger for that reason. They use the toughest steel out of all of the manufacturers. Chuck Hawks even wrote about a gun range he knew that has a rental Security Six from 1984 that is still ticking after a million rounds and more.

I need to find my receipt, I might be wrong.

good to know, thanks.

So you don't like revolvers?

But you still have proven a Taurus will not last as long as a smith. Oh I forgot, you read it on the internet so it must be true.

Incapable of forming a sentence? I have shot tens of thousands of rounds through handguns. I've seen enough guns run and not run consistently to form an opinion based on something more than blind faith. Which seems to be what your faith in Taurus is.

Like I said before if you honestly dont believe a taurus will work, take my challenge. I bet your car will get a hole in it if you do.

No gun fails 100% of the time. It is an absurd belief that because a gun will fire 5 times, it should be trusted with your life. A CCW is something that has to work.

Guns are like cars, everyone has an opinion. KIA's can go well over 100k miles, and work just as good as a mercedes does in getting you to work.

If you mean that they are material possessions, then yes. In almost any other instance, your comparison is completely ridiculous.

Speculation. I've known plenty of Taurus revolver owners who would never own another. Do you think they formed that opinion because the gun worked like it was supposed to?

When a semi auto gets finicky, the gun works poorly. When a revolver gets finicky, it doesn't work.

You're trying to tell me that because a Taurus doesn't malfunction every time, that it's a good firearm. I'm telling you that if a gun doesn't function and fire reliably, it shouldn't be a carry weapon. The burden of proof is not on me to prove that the gun won't work, as there are thousands of instances of Taurus revolvers failing. Quite plainly, if I didn't think that they were absolute pieces of shit, I would already own a 905. In all of my research, I couldn't find more than a few people who owned them and were happy with them. Combine that with dozens upon dozens of blown up .357 Revolvers, plus my personal experience and that's good enough for me.

You seem to have some amazing investment in other people's opinions of a sub-par arms manufacturer. Are they going who manufactured your .22 LR conversion kit for your AC556?

You still get your facts from the internet or did you stay at a Holiday Inn last night.

By your examples dont ever buy a 1911. Out of all handguns that is the one with the most jams. Although its generally ammo related or user modification.

Are you going to continue deflecting arguments with nonsense? My 1911's run great and that little fact has absolutely nothing to do with this thread on REVOLVERS.

You argue like a 14 year old. You have absolutely no facts to support your side of the discussion, and seemingly no experience on the matter.
