Same here in Saginaw, in my living room just like you. Ain't that the truth though, us old guys just ramble on and on and on and on. Roger DeCoster the famous motocross champion rode a CZ in the late 60', I know this stuff because I am old and carry a big gun too.Hakaman wrote:It's amazing what the subject of "Desert Warrior" brings out.

) , and I like it's accuracy. I don't have a great deal of inherent accuracy to begin with, as my eyes have a hard time focusing properly any more. I have inquired to a club member to see if he can get me a discount. I called a local dealer, though, and he said he does not sell them because they keep breaking on their customers. He said even though the Taurus offers a lifetime warranty, the majority he sells "break", and need to be sent back, "so I don't sell them any more" ??? What is your experience with Taurus. 
Yep,know what you mean! Last fall was shooting my SA Loaded full size and it would fire a few and jam, the slide not returning fully to battery. Slide was very hard to pull back and extract the unfired round, problem was the ammo. Old man that loaded it though, a box of ammo was finished and threw it in a bag with some others. Turns out it had not been crimped at all. Problem solved, go home and run all of them through the crimping die again and they then worked fine.greener wrote:It loads, fires and ejects if I make the bullets correctly. Shoots pretty well up to 25 yards. It does what I want.
I have found out that my full size SA Loaded Parkerized as SA calls it is particular also, more so that the Micro or the V-10. Don't know what bullets you use as far as setting OAL. I use a 200 grain LSWC and set them with .030 to .040 of the straight base of the bullet out of the case and crimp them to .468/.469. Got to the point at set up the die to crimp is to take the barrel of the full size gun and use it as a gage. When it drops in and the case is flush you have the proper crimp. What runs in that gun will run in any of the others.greener wrote:The Taurus is a bit picky about OAL and crimping. Took me a while to figure that out.
Feel for ya my friend, no new snow here just damn cold, don't think it made it over 20 here today. That storm is about your average yearly snowfall isn't it. Got no Brandy but got Bear, Jack Daniels and a Montero with all wheel or four wheel drive.greener wrote:Terrible blizzard here. We got about 10" of snow. Send Bear with the brandy! Closed down just about everything: government, schools, stores, restaurants (bars open), most business. 65000 without electricity. I showed up for work on time and was one of 6 folks who actually made it in. Last appreciable snow in Richmond was 2005. Frigid high of 27. What are we going to do?
H'man: The folks who have Neos like them. I've fired one. Wasn't bad, but it didn't kindle any excitement. Good second .22's are the S&W 22A, Buck Marks and another Ruger. Kaz can give you quite a sales job on the Buck Marks. My preference is Ruger by a ratio fo 4:1, I have 4 Rugers and one Buck Mark.
Pistol permit? You'll have to explain that. Us folks in VA just go buy one. And VA has a better Brady rating than Michigan, go figure.

Yea Greener, it's a pain in the butt going to the police station and, what it seems like, beg for a permit to purchase. I just finished the NRA/cpl ceritfication class at my club, and am filling out the paperwork to apply for the cpl. Wow, that's alot of snow for a "southern state", I can imagine how that must flatten your neck of the woods. I work for the local electricity company, now 31 years, and I have helped frequently when we have mass outages. I do public safety prevention and house service restoration. "Don't touch any down wires please", and assume a down wire is always energized. You wouldn't believe what some people do with downed wires, they think they are invincible or something. Every now and then people get killed doing stupid things.Feel for ya my friend, no new snow here just damn cold, don't think it made it over 20 here today.

If you have a CPL in Michigan like I do, we just walk in and buy just like you, especially them spur of the moment purchases for one you just got to have. A permit to purchase is for non CPL holders is good for 10 days I belive and give you time to talk yourself out of a purchase.
