I have been looking into trying to find a clear 25,30, or 31 clear/translucent mag for my Taurus g3 but I can’t find any. Does anyone know any after market websites or any clear/translucent extended 9mm mags that would work in a Taurus g3?
I inherited this early 90s m713 .357 and I'm getting ready to clean it up I was thinking about getting some new grips for it but I'm not sure what grips would fit I'm guessing round butt k frame but I don't have any to test that my only k frame is an early 60s square butt.
Just at the range putting more rounds through the Taurus 856 and 1911 so far smooth shooting trigger pull just keeps getting better stock rubber grips are surprisingly comfortable on the hand
Range trip today posting on here specifically since some A hole police post monitor was complaining earlier. The trigger pull is getting smoother and waiting on my 605 357 Revolver snub nose i know that will kick my wrist for sure i’ll find out soon Happy pre 4th of July to all my patriots out there .
The Taurus TS9 isn't like other Taurus handguns in the US. It was built for overseas police and military contracts to a Glock build level. Only a few thousand were imported about a year and a half ago from an overseas government contract overrun. It's the only Taurus that has passed serious NATO trials and the only Taurus designed by Wilhelm Bubits, which is why it looks like the giant ugly jungle cousin to the Kimber R7 family, using the same pure sideways ejection slide.
The ones that made it to the US have all ambi controls, no manual safety, 4" barrel, 17rd mags that also fit the Taurus G3 series like my G3c (in the leather holster).
It has a gigantic single-sided gas pedal, Olight PL2 Mini Valkyrie with 600 lumens on tap, and a 7 inch long hexagonal tube sight based on the Goshen Enterprises Hexsite - an unreleased prototype that Tim Sheehan told me about of the phone but never published prior to his death that I know of. It's a target focus, both eyes open iron sight. I needed the Bubits style slide to make sure a shell can't eject up to the tube body causing malfunctions.
Windage is adjustable by moving the rear dovetail tube mount (the original rear sight turned around backwards lol) and elevation by shimming.
Only other mod is a Galloway Precision stainless steel striker guide.
Next step is to make a holster for this beast and shoot it over the weekend - and record it. So there's more coming on this project :).
The holster is gonna be just as shocking. And completely different from anything I've built before.
I've been tracking every round through my TX22 Compact. Thought some people here might find the data useful.

I plan to continue my ammo log.
Someone please point me in the direction of a nice chest holster for the raging bull so I can take it on the trails. Every brand i have seen only makes holster for the raging hunter, and I have no clue if that would be compatible as I've never seen one in person to compare. Bonus points for your favorite grips
I bought this gun terribly Cerakoted. Stripped it down, gave a quick polish. Now I’ve got everything put together beside one tiny spring pictured next to the q-tip. The cylinder free spins, and I can’t figure out the springs part in this. I also lost my cylinder yoke assembly and detent. Where the hell does this spring go?
Got her home and sent a few rounds into the pond
I know the Taurus GX2 T.O.R.O. is cut for an RMSc footprint. I got a standard GX2 without the cut because it was all they had at the moment and i didn't feel like waiting. My question is has anyone done an RMR cut instead of an RMSc, will it even work? I know you can get a dovetail adapter as I've already ordered one and am waiting for it to arrive. My cousin has a mini cnc and he can do it without breaking my wallet as long as he has the measurements but I'm not sure if it will work and don't want to try it without some research but i can't seem to find anything on it. I've seen multiple services for an RMSc cut but none for an RMR. Forgive me if this sounds stupid this is my first gun and I'm still learning the ins and outs and thanks for any input you can give in advance.
Edit: For clarification my cousin has been a cnc operator for years
Just picked up this beauty at the gun show!! Gold accents and Rosewood grips!
DO IT! Finally got my Sparrow for the trusty TX22. So damn fun!
I'm having a hard time deciding whether I should get a ported barrel or a micro compensator. I know they both do the same thing but wondering which is better in the long run. (I don't really care about the recoil assembly because I'm getting it anyways.)
I've got a 605 in .357. After putting only a couple of boxes of .38s through it, my yoke screw/spring popped out without me realizing it until I unloaded, at which point of course my cylinder had to fall out and cast the stop spring and plunger into the grass somewhere.
Should be easy fixes, but I'm not finding any parts online except gunbroker and ebay at exorbitant prices for crappy looking used ones - like $40 for what goes for new at a tenth of that. ShopTaurus, Numrich, Midway, Brownells, and a handful of smaller vendors all have all of these parts "out of stock," with no end in sight. I contacted Taurus and got into an argument with a lady at customer service- "If we don't have them in stock on the website then we can't send them out, because we have to prioritize availability for repair. You can send us the firearm and we can have our gunsmiths replace them."
It's quite frustrating. Those parts aren't upgrades or anything like that, they're only common and necessary replacement parts and so if somebody orders them, then by definition they need them for repair. So it doesn't sit well that they're making them available for repair by their smiths but not by the end user. Anyway, that's a rant, but I don't feel like spending even MORE for shipping and return than the markup on the used sites.
I would be fine swapping a S&W J frame yoke screw/spring assembly in, but I don't know of any similar equivalents to the stop spring/plunger, since the engineering is different with Taurus.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a part supplier for these, or am I just going to have to bite the bullet and pay out the nose for the used parts? Alternatively, are there other options for the cylinder stop spring/plunger that I'm overlooking?
Maybe if I keep hounding Taurus they'd change their mind, but the convo with customer support makes me not optimistic.
Im kinda new to Taurus do i js take of the pins ? I need guidance does have the frt dont know if that effects the way i disassemble it
Yall see the Aluminum frames for the GX4???? This thing looks sick
I recently got a Taurus 942 22LR and was disappointed that SpeedBeez and most of the other manufacturers did not have a speedloader or loading block for it. 5 Star had a twist type one, but I really like the SpeedBeez platform.
Well, I found one on eBay that has the speedloader and two types of loading blocks available and about 1/2 the cost of the SpeedBeez.
I have no affiliation with this vendor and I have no dog in the fight other than I think other people with Taurus 942 (or Charter Arms Pathfinder II) would like it. It is a 3d printed version similar to the SpeedBeez. I will be getting one soon.
I've been looking at the gx4 for concealed carry as an option cuz the price is right but I was wondering. I've seen a lot of people say that these are not safe to carry due to the recall. I was wondering what was the result of it a few years ago? Are these pistols safe now or no?
