Ordered through Bud's yesterday. Today they drop the price by $60!?!
I filed a claim with the Norton guarantee BS for a price match refund.
Edit:
They honored the price and are sending me the difference. Nice.
Resurrection
I just ordered one from Buds. It wasn't on sale....but I haven't seen it in stock anywhere lately.
I had an airweight centennial j-frame years ago. Wanted to get another one but this caught my eye.
Check the op rods for mushrooming, where they impact the bolt for deformation and maybe the hammer for signs of deformation.
Edit:
Also look at the ejector face and extractor hook for accelerated wear.
I train no gi jiu jitsu with a friend of mine. He's a former HS state wrestling champion and still amazingly tough. I'd imagine this is something we could work on but neither of us has experience gaining control of an object (gun).
My Turkinelli thread
Long story short. I got the Toros Copolla from Standard Manufacturing.
It didn't like some old s&b 00 but has been 100% otherwise, at over 500 of mixed ammo including some 7/8oz light trap loads.
Op rods and bolt interface are still good. The hammer started deforming...
Another CZ P10c, familyfirearms.com has them at $365+20 shipping right now.
Mine has the optics cut slide and tall night sights, I've installed an overwatch precision striker and trigger. 100% at @700 rounds of mostly Blazer 124 and some various hp's. It's my truck and backpack/duffel bag...
Baloney.
You don't need stiff cowhide or kydex to be a REAL gun guy. I have lots of both and wear them under most circumstances.
I also have a Comfortac belly band when I'm in shorts or sweats. I wouldn't stuff it with a 1911 or N frame but it holds a Shield plus and a spare mag with no...
I'm going with cat or dog(either wild or domestic) or the Chupacabra
Raptors usually leave no trace at the scene. Also usually pick a carcass clean and don't remove appendages.
I think it's a great idea. 250gr subs out of a suppressed Henry X model..... sounds interesting.
I can't say I would thread a valuable antique, but anything short of that I'm all for it.
