I picked up the Smith and Wesson shield used. At the time the gun craze was going on and these guns were flying out the door. Therefore, the only one I could find came with a threaded barrel. I have no interest in threaded barrels, as I …
The Taurus PT740 came back after being gone for three weeks, and had been reworked by Taurus. I'm not exactly happy that would I essentially did was a short term loan with Taurus, but... what are you going to do? I knew I was taking a ri…
Okay, I finally found some spare time to get in there. My suspicion was that it was flywheel related, given the history of these engines and all. I also could engage the starter and it just free spun, so I knew something was up. The engi…
