I bought a commie police traded in CZ 82 back in the day. 200 bucks shipped. The best da trigger i ever had out of a da sa gun.

Fantastic gun.

Star BM Super 9mm. It was so worn out that you had to hold down the slide stop to keep it from bouncing up and stopping the slide half way through a magazine. The thing was a tack driver. I traded it for a very nice BM Super that patterned like a shotgun.

CZ 52 w/ 9mm bbl & 5 mags for $85 many years ago. After a little tinkering it feeds and starts fires 10' accurately and reliably.

A 45 LC Uberti Cattleman and the same holster I used in CASS. Purchased when I was 15 and used a Lee $10.00 hammer style reload kit. Never a problem but did sometimes induce a flinch when setting primers. Still shoot it often though I have had to fabricate some parts over the decades.

Again I must have been the really lucky one as I have a sig mosquito that i stuck with cci mini mags and after a few hundred rounds it has been flawless for close to 5000 rounds.

Also , not sure one would call it a dog, but the Sig P250c in 9mm should not have been discontinued. Definitely a solid DAO pistol.

My personal experiences with Taurus are nothing but good. I'm not saying I consider them a top-tier company but they are not always the garbage they are made out to be. I had a 85 that was excellent and a friend owns a 1911 and a Beretta 92 copy that are both fantastic guns and, as far as I know, have never failed him.
