FYI, I just found that that there's an ongoing $30 rebate on Taurus revolvers. It's not much, but it may bring the retail price in the upper $400s for some 692 models.

No, but they're tempting for the price. If I didn't already own two S&W 686+ revolvers that I purchased years ago, I'd own the Taurus already.

I haven't read the entire thread yet, but you made a great choice. I tend to lean towards Kimber, Ruger, and Taurus revolvers if new. Older S&W revolvers above all except for no lock K-frames. The GP100 is built like a tank, and if it ever breaks for the lifetime that you own it, Ruger will take...

People who are staying stay away from Taurus are stuck in the past, aren't credible, and/or have a bias. Taurus is currently better and more reliable than current S&W revolvers. Taurus has better QC. Period. They either aren't being objective or they just aren't that educated on the CURRENT...

Overdramatic much? There aren't that many semiauto handgun calibers that are still in statistically significant production numbers. Not everyone is happy or just wants to shoot 22lr, 380 ACP, 9mm, 45 ACP, and 10mm. There would STILL be shortages during panic buying. People would buy up more of...

Sadly, it's cool and the in thing to dislike .40, so it will never happen. The only sheeple will like .40 again is if L.E. and the military start issuing it. Then they'll jump back on the Love Boat.

I would rather there be a .40 S&W that came with or had aftermarket 9mm and 357 SIG barrels vs a 9mm or even 10mm. I like .40 better than both 9mm, .45, and 10mm for carry as I'm a free thinker, so I haven't jump on the undeserved sheeple hate bandwagon. I personally think it's silly to hate or...

But that's not what he purchased and your post didn't really differentiate between the two. I don't own any non-steel frame revolvers, but I read from multiple sources that they can be snappy with +p. I agree with you that wadcutters, and stand 38 non JHP, maybe a great option in those...

No, there are many examples on YouTube and done by members of other forums who aren't just firing one round. There are a handful of reliable and very manageable 38 +P currently on the market that expand reliably out of a 2" barrel. While I will agree wadcutters are a good choice in Airweight...

Not true at all. There are plenty JHP options in all common defensive calibers that do well out of shorter barrels. That might not have been the case decades ago, but it is now. At defensive distances that snubs will be utilizes, I don't believe it matters whether one chooses JHP, wadcutters...

The GP100 also comes with 7 rounds and is the better choice, IMHO. You should pick one up too.

If I'm picking for myself, none of those.

You listed a bunch of pistols that are in different weight, size, and trigger type categories. You didn't list anything about what you're looking for in a EDC.

That's not what he was saying or at least how I read it. He was basically say that in general, most commercial 10mm is watered down.

Younger people are still reading, but it's online and in digital form rather than in text. They also get a lot of the same information in video form. Other than that, I've been a member of many forums where most of the members are older and retired, and they are just as grumpy and argumentive as...

Well, most big box stores have stop selling firearm related magazines years ago. There's the fact that, unfortunately, you're in the minority of those who care about getting a paper copy. It's typically cheaper and more efficient to go digital.

Not sure I follow what you're saying.

No, I used common sense based on how I know the process works as well as reading comprehension. Turns out I was right on the money....

I just used common sense and reading comprehension I suppose, but I could be wrong. It's not not typical practice for any gun shop to order a gun they don't have in stock, especially under their GSSF program, especially when it's for a newer customer. Then there the fact that the OP went through...
