    No, Moral of the story is that you've got a lot of ass kissing, foot massaging, begging for mercy to do ... but it's worth it.

    Last weekend I bought a cheap Anderson lower on a whim. One thing led to another and I now have a DPMS LPK, BCM, Buffer kit, M4 stock, some PMAGs and a freaking LE6920 upper headed my way!!!:bang::insane:

    How is the availability of .45 ACP in countries other than the USA, say Ukraine and Israel?

    Cool!

    I see that I have a Beretta not on that list -- 948 in 22LR. It was made in 1952 and still works.:)

    I love the 84BB. I wish I can get a few more.

    Really? I did not know that. I have never seen a Beretta 92 with frame safety. I thought that's a superior design to slide mounted safety. I have problem using the safety on my Walther P38, but no problems at all with my Beretta 84.

    Taurus and S&W used to be owned by the same parent company. S&W stuff flowed into Brazil to make its DA revolvers.

    Taurus won a contract to manufacture Beretta 92 for Brazilian government. Minor changes were made to local specifications. Mostly to relocate the slide mounted safety to the frame (improvement in my opinion).

    I like Taurus DA revolvers. They work and have lifetime warranty that goes with the gun rather than the owner.

    I bet they in Swiss Bank number accounts, with stacks of cash and multiple passports in the name of Jessica Bourne :)

    I happen to own a Taurus single action revolver, I own a few Glocks too.
    Harumph! I'll be damned, surfgun you have done and proved me wrong.:wors:

    I always thought that Taurus used the S&W tooling to make their revolvers, but I guess they didn't. Like you said, completely different mechanisms. I'd never compared them side by side before.

    Won't say that the Taurus method is inferior, but I will say it's different.

    Did Taurus use Beretta tooling for their autos?
