With print in decline, the company ads are thinning out a bit. Maybe a full page now and then for a new product, so don’t offend them. As for the meaning of terrible trigger, thats from a regular shooter, not Nancy from Cincinnati. I take difficult to shot well differently too. It seems more of an admission that, as Deadstick notes, it’s a closet fight gun.<br /><br />A DA only trigger is the giveaway that this is a gun for people who need a relatively inexpensive (Taurus, check), simple, point and squeeze bullet tosser. Add colors and the marketing department is convinced the ladies will buy several...black goes with everything, but how about a nice red and maybe a yellow?CenterPuke88https://www.blogger.com/profile/17770056621255249861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-31786989599030114032018-06-22T11:37:46.221-04:002018-06-22T11:37:46.221-04:00you can tell when a company is spending a little e...you can tell when a company is spending a little extra to get a better write-up for a product that sucks.Paul Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13092023794397583036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-28308858773053458072018-06-22T10:31:12.318-04:002018-06-22T10:31:12.318-04:00I didn't see a Taurus ad in the issue.

Buried in the laudatory text was a mention that they had to send the gun back to the factory a few times to get them to fix it so it would run.<br /><br />Almost all of them make clunkers. Ruger had to rework the initial GP-100.44s. S&W is known for sending out revolvers with clocked barrels. None of them have the QC/QA that they once had. But S&W and Ruger aren't sending out guns, for the most part, that are designed from the ground up to be pieces of shit. Taurus, on the other hand,......

They will do anything they can to make items made by people who advertise for lots of big dollars in their magazine look as good as they can. <br /><br />If they say something (a gun) is less than perfect, that means it is less useful than a brick.<br /><br />"The trigger was terrible" means that it is a useless gun. "Difficult to shoot well" means that you are better off throwing the pistol at your attacker, or pistolwhipping them with it. <br /><br />I'd like to find one (to borrow or rent) just to see how bad it actually isB https://www.blogger.com/profile/10586046436233366155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-8226545259602211252018-06-21T23:05:18.291-04:002018-06-21T23:05:18.291-04:00it's actually being marketed at woman, the hug...it's actually being marketed at woman, the huge as yet untapped gun products consumer. this market move is aided and abetted by the NRA who are really politicizing the women with hate filled reactionary agit prop.barneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10572095990952474034noreply@blogger.com
