    I had a 10 mm back before they were cool. A Ruger SR iirc. Ammo was expensive and hard to find. Back then at least.

    It's still not a good trigger but it will do.least you don't have to pull it all the way back to the trigger guard. but it still pull a long way just not as hard and far. I wouldn't make it my carry gun, but it will be a good one to leave in the truck.

    I have way too many to take pics of, but the past couple years I have bought a few Colt Huntsman family.22. Got a High Standard most recently. Had a bidding war on an unfixed in box Victor, with a neat serial number. Guy who won out said his wife gave him permission to come to the auction as long as he brought that one home to her. Might have gotten a good buy otherwise.

    I enjoy shooting them, and good retirement support system.

    I carry a Kimber TLE II for work. Public likes Sheriff carrying 1911’s. Lots in Indiana do. 9mm Glock is the issue handgun at at the office. Everthying from 21, 26,19 and the 42 as an alternate. I shot the .45 ACP Glock on the range. It is awesome.

    I am not familiar with that place. I have bought some on Proxibid and his business may be on it. . I hate buyer premiums. Its a rip off of the client they are selling for. If it is something I have been looking for, I factor my travel costs and loss of a good Saturday. As A seller, I would demand a lower commission be ause the auction house id driving down the sale price- which they can live with.

    Ok I had written ot off from your first review . But this sounds promising.

    I can't remember without going back did you say it was a hard install?

    Hate to hear that about the meds. Hope they get you one something or a level that still solves the problem there medicating but also reduces the shakes.

    I shot my step dad's new to him Tokerev last weekend. That is a powerful gun with some recoil on it in the size pistol it is. His was a yugo model. Very crude and rough externally feeling trigger.

    Also had some other gun I for get what it was it was chambered in 9 Makerov but wasn't the normal Mak , it was smaller and that gun was snappy and had some recoil due to the small size and weight, it was smaller than his Makerov. Ok looked at old texts called it a P64.

    Yes, it is, but when I owned that 10mm, it was stupid expensive. That's when the 10 and the 40 SW were in the competition to be the next bigger replacement for the 9mm.
