I have yet to acquire my concealed carry permit, but I have taken the course. When funds allow, I'm going to go file the paperwork and get the ball rolling on that. As for Open carry, I'm always humping this beast.


I used to own an XD .45 Tactical, and I loved it, but the grip frame was a tad too large during snap shooting and eventually I traded it in for the Taurus. When I purchased it, it was pretty well used, but not shot out. There were a few problem components, like the safety. Likely the reason the original owner sold the gun off in the first place. Along I come, with the technical knowledge and patience to fix every little problem and BAM, now it's a reliable shooter. Recently it has started having a rare problem of the hammer only going to a half [censored], so I think it's come time to install new sears, but other than that it's been a great weapon even used as it was.

btw, my Avatar pic is the same pistol before I stripped and Patina-ed the slide.
