A guy at work offered it to me for $325 with 2 mags. He says it's in excellent condition, and judging by how he keeps his stuff (truck, bike, etc) he's not lying. Looks like a typical Beretta 9mm, but I've never owned one of those either. Gonna take it to the range this weekend to check it out. Is it a good deal for the price?

that is about the right price.. maybe a little low but.. I have no interest in those guns.

Here in Kalifornia the ten round mag ban is still in effect so... If you gotta have a self shucker with 10 or less... why not just go to 40 or 45?

Beretta's and taurus's of that design are prone to stovepiping.

I bought a 9mm for my wife, buy a .45 for yourself.

Right on, thx guys. Luckily I'm in Texas not Kali

Hell, Jim Pruett's is 10 minutes from my house. I could walkout with a supressed, fully-auto Sten for under 4k, or an Uzi 6k.

Not gonna carry this concealed or anything. Katrina looters finally convinced my sheep-like friends why firearms are a good thing and they're asking me to take them shooting. This Taurus was offered to me this morning so I figured this would be as good a pistol as any for them to abuse. I can't wait to hand it to them unloaded to see if they blink pulling the trigger.

side note.... p.s. to Lazs and others. Thanks for the tips and advice on the M-1A from a topic that got locked. Appreciate it!

the only really good thing about 9mm is that you can get ammo dirt cheap and they have virtually no recoil.

If you are training people to shoot... these are good things.

Lasz looks like you live in the wrong state.

Yeah Laz get outta that state your in before you have to shoot somebody for being stupid.

Oh.. I have come to the realization that I live in the wrong state..

couple more years...

couple hours ago my boss turned purple over something I said (not all that uncommon of an durring "conversations" with him)..

It was about seatbelts... I told him that if it were the policy for me to wear em in our vehicles I would do so but that in my Hot Rods I wore a lap belt most of the time and in my Lincoln I never did... He acted like I was suggesting overthrowing the government or craping on finesteins lawn or something.

silly little man.

You should never crape on lawn. You lose all definition.

Lazs, lazs, lazs.... have you ever taken this mini-test? http://www.self-gov.org/quiz.html

lazs2 · « **Reply #11 on:** September 08, 2005, 02:37:29 PM »

according to that... I am a tiny bit, maybe one maybe question away from being at the very peak of libertarian.

questions are wierd tho... no subsidies is fine so long as you don't have punitive taxes for instance. Drugs for adults is fine so long as they pay their own way and lose jobs or privliges for being dangerous to everyone else (dui etc).

Not all that cut and dry.

Agreed, nothing is cut & dry, but it's certainly an interesting conversation starter. Thanks for checking it out, thought you might find it interesting.

My problem with libertarians is that for the most part... they are egghead wussies.

Only half of em own guns... only half of that number have fired em...

They have no idea of what to do with the power they have and they are a failure as a political party... pretty much a joke... they keep trying to win big elections for which there is no hope... they should get realistic and start trying to win local elections...

A good book on what they should do is Molon Labe by Boston T Party (don't even know his real name).
