That’s my experience except I didn’t have feed problems since I started with my loads of 185’s.

I’ll try to come up with another problem such as why did they have the need to put numbers, names, calibers, model numbers and all this trivia all over my gun. I was hoping to get that matte finish to a bright shine. No such luck on the slide. Maybe on the frame.

And the non glare finish is rubbing black plastic from my Blade Tech holster all over the top. It looks like it’s filthy.

Love the gun.

P.S. I think Blade Tech will sell you a holster that accomodates under frame rails.

Good point about the finish! After a little use and carry it looks BAD! But then after cleaning and a dab of oil, it's like new again! The matte finish shows every little ding and minor scrape. I still highly recommend this pistol though. It's a DREAM to shoot! Last week, we went to the back yard intending on objectively evaluating the Taurus against the Colt, and we ended up having an informal shooting match just using the Taurus because it's so nice to shoot!

Eventually, my son is going to want to put a light, or laser under it (or combo) and we'll need the correct holster. The holsters we've tried so far aren't really much of a hinderance with the rails, but can you recommend a good holster that will accomodate the weapon with a light/laser-sight on the rails? Does Blade Tech make one like that? TIA! :-)
