FYI Found a good Deal ...

[SearCutFAL]

Any FFL Dealer Nationwide:
Can order you one, even if your area doesn't have a local Academy location.


FYI - Cool Guy Handgun Deal.

Academy Sports has a current offer going on Taurus G3c (compact) 9mm Handguns - 209.00 each.
It's not a fancy Sig or HK, but it works. I bought 3. (these usually sell for closer to $300.00)

Stupid low price on these, new in box with 2 mags. Great reviews. Earliest models had tight chambers
but that's been fixed for years. Mags work great, you can ring plates all day long at 25 yards.
Well built. Comes with real metal sights and a click up and down (solid engagement) safety.

Hickok45 of YouTube fame likes them, that's good enough for me.

 

[Smokinrav]

That is actually tempting, now that I've enraged a good segment of the GG crowd lol

 

[SearCutFAL]

I'm literally shocked, a totally solid, reportedly 100% reliable, well built gun at this
current screaming good deal price point. I checked out the reviews and various
videos by Respected folks and it just keeps coming up roses.

Taurus is now operating out of Georgia U.S.A.
This Does Not feel, look or work like a sub-$300 handgun, much less one you can
buy now for $209.00.

PLUS ...
If you have an Academy Credit Card, they knock another 5% off the sale price !!!

Got stocks in Taurus huh?

 

[Fäthër Cörpsë]

Taurus is junk, idk what reliability reports you’re seeing.

Edit: ok I will concede - buy a handful of these and toss them in with the mosin nagants to hand out to the local militia, in a ‘SHTF we need to defend the neighborhood scenario’.

 

[SearCutFAL]

Just like many manufacturers getting into Polymer framed pistols, Taurus had some issues.
They seem to have this particular handgun working right. I've had Berettas crack frames, and
a Smith & Wesson M&P crack a slide, a Ruger that wasn't accurate and a 1911 that wouldn't feed
a whole mag without stove-piping. All of them cost more than this Taurus, which runs fine after
shooting it all week.

But, yes ... fill up a box full of them, then hand out during a 'Without Rule of Law' sitrep, which will
come in my lifetime. Just look at the World around us, it's not getting better, only worse.

I usually buy top-end gear, but a barrel of these is doable
at the current Sale Price.

This guy is usually pretty hard on stuff and overall, he liked it too.

Why do you need three though?

 

[Hate]

I'm waiting on my Gen12 to get to the FFL

 

[SearCutFAL]

Why do you need three though?

It's a dangerous World, more and more senseless and unprovoked Violence.
I've been in two shootings (legit bad guys, both with open Warrants), one was high as a kite.

I can tell you ~ the proper mindset, tactics and a reliable weapon are priceless, in that moment.
Both survived, but barely. Both went back to prison. They gave up, so I quit shooting.

When you're being attacked and you drop them into a whimpering Wad, it's the most hyped and
focused you will ever be. Sound auditory drops, everything slows down, tunnel vision kicks in, it's
also the most alive you'll ever be, when you win and they lose.

Plus, I really, really like guns.

Yeah but you only have two hands is my thinking. If you got the 3rd for parts, that's acceptable I suppose. At $209. that's probably cheaper than whatever they'll charge you in the future should you ever need to order a part to fix one. 🤔 🤷‍♀️

Bingo ...
If one goes down, at this price - just turn number 3 into a parts gun.

i assume you drive around in an over-sized pick-up as well, maybe your guns are even on a rack in the back to impress your friends

 

[SearCutFAL]

Nope ...
Gun racks mainly just serve to advertise 'It's going to get Stolen' type stuff and are a bad idea.
Plus, there's no system to install one in a BMW.

For car use, I prefer a Handgun, one minute they think you're their next victim, but then they see
the gun your Cat brought. 🤣🤣🤣
