girlie got a new toy

wildchild · 10-18-2010, 09:42 AM

went to a gun show at my girlfriends request this weekend.

they didn't have what she was looking for so we went to local gun shop and she picked up a Taurus 38 special. 2 inch barrel stainless steel. fits her hand very well.
I've had good luck with my Taurus .357 so we didn't mind getting another. she is all excited about using the backyard shooting range now. LOL
she has already told me I need to build a "shooter table" out there and a few other improvements.
next she says will be a coach gun style shotgun. this shopping i can deal with.

Nice.

My dad has a couple of Taurus pistols and a 1911 in 45 and has not had a problem with any of them. We shot the 1911 alot and it has never jammed, missfired, stove piped or misfed. The only time it did not load was because a 40 acp slipped into the hands of the person loading the mag (myself) and loaded it about halfway down. We were hesitant about buying a few of the Taurus guns, and all the negative stigma floating around, but after shooting what we have, I'd have no problems with buying another.

Love my Taurus!

Cool. I don't currently own a Taurus but had a .38 several years ago with no issues.

I can't shoot in my backyard though.

I have the huge Taurus 307. Never tried their snubbies before.

I've been craving a .357 snubbie for a while now, and I actually like Taurus. All of a sudden, the right one will fall into my lap, and I'll be all set.
