I had a Taurus revolver - a little 5-shot .38. It wasn't a bad little gun, and I shot surprisingly well with it.

I can't shoot it for shit but my buddy's a decent shot with it so I can't blame the gun. Had it for probably 10 years and have put maybe 500 rounds through it so I have nobody to blame but myself. The gun itself seems like a good gun. Taurus actually made a couple improvements on the Beretta blueprint, IMO (the position of the safety/de-cocker on the Beretta is awful; much better spot on the Taurus). Taurus seems to have found its footing over the last 20 years or so. I learned on my Ruger MK-II target pistol and then 'graduated' to a Sig P320 9mm. So I probably just let the gun shoot me a little more than I should after getting used to much easier shooting guns. A sportier trigger wouldn't hurt. There's a little more play in the Taurus than I'm a huge fan of. It's similar to my Ruger .375 revolver - the double action just leaves a lot of empty pull. I'm a MUCH better shot when I manually pull the hammer back with that gun than I am when I'm trying to 'find' when it goes bang. Ultimately I just need a better base. My handgun skills have atrophied a ton through my 30s. Just not enough range time. |

But the most important thing when it comes to pistol shooting, whether you have a good trigger or bad, is to make sure that when you pull the trigger, you just move your finger, not your hand. It is the absolute number one reason people miss. If you're right-handed, and move your hand, you'll miss low left (or low right if you're left-handed). |

For EDC I have a S&W Airweight .38 special with Crimson Trace grips. It's a handy little 5 shooter that is small enough to throw in my jacket pocket and go. Now I just need to come up with a holster for my new "hand cannon". |

I use a Falco leather custom holster. They make them fit any model with whatever attachments you want and they are freaking fantastic. Heavy duty, light-weight leather with a tank of a clip. Super durable and comfortable. |

Sort of off subject but sort of not.
Lets talk hearing protection. I've got a couple pair of ear muffs for hearing protection but I've been looking at these: https://goaxil.com/pages/gsextreme?u...TSvuuz#product Less bulky and I like that you don't have to take them out to have a conversation, plus they are Blue Tooth compatible so I can listen to my metal music while shredding targets. Anyone have experience with these? Other brands? |

Too good a deal to pass up. Has most everything I wanted to get started reloading my 22 Hornet(except dies) along with several other calibers I want to reload. Now I gotta finish my gun room |
