Got a new toy....

[calee13]

I replaced my Taurus PT140 PRO gen.2 with a new Ruger SR40c the other day. After a good cleaning I went to the range today and I was very pleased that it operated flawlessly. I fired 150 rounds using both the 10 and 15 rounds magazines.The 10 round mag will be my CC choice and has a spur to rest your pinky finger, which I like, my PT140 doesn't have one and I was never able to locate an aftermarket one. The 15 rounder is nice for the range. I had read that the SR40c was the lightest recoil 40 on the market but I really couldn't notice any difference from Taurus 40.
The only negative, for me anyway, is the sights. The Taurus rear sight has two large dots whereas the Ruger's rear two dots are really,really small for my old eyes. If I want small tight groups a sight change will be necessary but it's not a game changer for me as it's strictly a carry weapon for me and it produces 3" to 4" groups at 10 yards.........I'm a happy camper.

be safe
i don't consider a gun a 'toy' but a tool that could save my life in a bad situation

Sorry if my terminology differs from yours, I meant "toy" as in "boy toy", possession, etc. I will attempt to converse only in a deadly serious tone from now on........I suggest that you lighten up.

lol it's all good call it a toy boy toy if you wish i was just saying i myself would never consider a gun as a 'toy' or 'boy toy' either 'boy toy' indeed! ha rotflmao

i guess being new to the idea of myself handling guns and carrying one no less, is quite a serious matter to me but that's just me at this stage in my relationship with deadly defense tools as it is just recently i took my first step to seriously consider carrying a defensive weapon of deadly calibre that in my book is a serious choice on my part hence i treat it as such
but boys i know love their 'toys' so have fun and be safe with your boy toys
:flirt:

Congratulations on your new toy. I am glad you are happy about it and hopefully you will have years of enjoying the range with it.

I have a SR40C that i carry also..Its a nice carry piece with the 9 shot mag..If i was going to use the 15 round mag i might as well just carry my 1911. So far no problems at all with PD rounds..If you check on You Tube it shows how to remove the mag disconect so you can fire a round in the tube with the mag out.As it is now the gun wont fire unless the mag is in. The 40c is a pistol i will have for a long time..JMO
