What’s the pistol you got. Been looking for a new carry gun. Looking at the sig P320. Want something with a manual safety. Have glocks but I always carry with one in the chamber. In the heat of the moment I don’t want to accidentally give myself a new butt crack. Likely wouldn’t happen. Been carrying a Taurus 709 slim for years but hate the trigger break. And when I got it it was the most off target gun I have ever pulled from the box and shot. From 15 yards it wasn’t even on the paper.

**************************************

Taurus G2C.

I did some checking, had my eye on a couple including a Ruger, and the Taurus had some good reports and reviews. When I picked one up, I really liked the way the wider bodied model (12 round mag) felt. the really aggressive non skid grips are nice. They recently released an upgraded G3Cmodel, I looked at it a couple of days ago. It got some good comments in a magazine article fom last fall, also seems like a good pistol. Comes with 3 mags and a trigger guard mounted laser sight. Or I think that's what it was, didn't pay too close attention to that part.

I hope this comes out right, I've never been able to get the resize thing to work right. Sorry if this is a huge picture.



That's my 1st 6 shots. So far, I lie it pretty well. I've only fired about a full box of target rounds, didn't manage to make it tot he range much before the ammo crunch hit, now it's way too expensive to shoot up 25 rounds or so and can't find any at all to replace it. Did see one box uyesterday, 50 JHP115 gr rounds, $50. No thanks. Last ones I got were $12. Same rounds, different brand. They had some 20 round boxes of .380 JHP too, $32. Afew weeks ago I spotted some .45 JHP rounds, box of 25 for $45. So I'm not going to the range lately...

Not that concerned though, ever since I learned to shoot a pistol in the 70's I've been able to hit my target with good consistency. I hunted squirrels with a Ruger .22 Single Six pistol back then. I wouldn't try it now, not quite that good any more but I can still hit a target the size of a sheet of typewriter paper every time at 20 yards. Including with a gun I've never picked up before. My 1st target with a Heritage .22 looks about like that one, but it seems to shoot an inch low. Armadillos don't have much of a chance though. 18 shots, all within a 3 inch group. Day I bought it, never picked it up before. Don't have that pic posted on line though. The only other one posted is my .22 rifle target, but bench rested.
