    I left 2 of my revolvers in the safe next to each other, and it looks like they got a little busy in the dark. This little guy just showed up over the weekend begging to be fed and held! He seems to like a diet of Mini Mags the best.

    Did you get the belt buckle holster to go with it? I'll never forget a review of that gun that I read stating that you should grip it with your fingers "like you were chocking a chicken to death". Is that true?

    All I can figure is I switched gun oil last month from Remoil to Eezox.

    No belt buckle. It does take a tight hold. What works for me is a strong side pinch grip with my thumb, if I do that there isn't a whole lot of movement after each shot. I can pretty quickly unload 5 shots onto a 5" gong at 5 yards without having to re-position my grip.

    Dang, I've left them unsupervised together plenty of times and gotten nothing. Anyone know how to tell if they are just friends? Maybe because it's a Glock vs. SIG thing. Hmm, maybe it is the Taurus being there - 3 is a crowd :whistle:. Or maybe, just maybe, it's a sub-compact. compact, full-size incompatibility going on there ;)

    Firearms are pretty racist. Glock and SIG is a not go because you have a Swiss and an Austrian together. Then throw in a Brazilian and you're lucky there wasn't a riot! Try putting 2 guns with the same heritage together and see what happens!

    It might just be a caliber issue, feelings of inadequacy, lower knock down power?

    All same caliber, I thought for sure that would make them compatible and I could get some nice cross-breeds out of them.

    That would be the "Just friends" part I referred to :D. And yes, I have a close family member, that has a SO of the same gender.
