I keep getting the revolver bug.... Some day I’d like to get a good 357 or 45LC
Gun talk or something beside the stupid title i gave it

In 1996 I saw a American handgunner
Magazine at work
They had announced chip mcCormick's
Build kits would be
Sold as complete pistols by
Kimber of Oregon
I had dozens of chip mcCormick 1911 mags
They were great mags back then.
And I had a Kimber .22 bolt action
Awesome rifle.
So I ordered one and prepaid
They were only 400.00
And it's honestly a great pistol
Very accurate and reliable
mine's under 4000 serial number range
Probably has 10k rounds through it now.
Then a few years later they moved to new york and added the external extractor.
Guy's I shot idpa
With bought new one's
And had nothing but trouble with them
They took a good pistol and ruined it.
Kimbers are way overpriced, those Turkish gune are hard to beat for quality and price, whether it's a shotgun or handgun. but even they have gone up since i bought my first one.
My gunsmith friend told me he only
Adds night sights or does trigger jobs
On the turkish gun's.
He's never had to fix a malfunctioning turkish gun
He's a big fan of the regent hipower clone
In his words it's as accurate and better built than many original hi-powers we're.
Account to him .45 is dead in Idpa and everyone went to 9mm locally.
Some guy's are running the turkish semi automatic shotguns for skeet shooting.
I can't fault Taurus on how they responded, it was the crap they were making at the time, two different pistols, different problems, pistols were shipped back and forth a few times.
In the end they sent brand new ones to replace them, which I promptly sold.
I sent a worn out Super Blackhawk to Ruger, I got a card back with an estimate and questions about use.
In the end, Ruger kept it and sent me a new one for the cost of repairs on the old one.
H110 is erosive as is W296, I was advised to discontinue use of heavy loads with the lighter bullets

I own a couple of Canik pistols. Awesome 9mm.
if you can load your own rounds, a .44 Mag, if not a .357.
I wish they would make something other than a 9mm. I realize in Turkey the 9 is the dominant round and probably zero 40's around.
I think the .40 was developed for US law enforcement in mind. Turkey/Canik is looking towards NATO.
Kimber 1911's haven't had the external extractor setup for years.

Damn shame, even if it doesn't get past the face slapping phase, it won't be pretty
Send Doughnations then, you cheap sum bitch before you find out he eated me
That few actually voted for.
I think they are all weak, Putin's war means he needs a distraction.
I also happen to have a Ruger Match Champion. Great revolver.The only revolver I want is this
match champion Ruger gp100
It's the most accurate .357 I've ever shot
My friend is taking about selling it.
The gp100 .22 is fun
I'm holding out for an L frame, longer barrel, a field piece.
