    That break-in thing is a bunch of crap. Shoot it, hand cycle it, do it dry or lubed, it makes no difference.

    With that said, I personally wouldn't trade a 1911 (which I shoot well) for some baby double stack 9 that may or may not function. If your Taurus is reliable, I'd keep it.

    I normally wouldn't say this, but keep the Taurus

    Everyone KNOWS that anything smaller than 40mm is an unreliable stopper. Whatcha really need is a M203 for EDC...




    Seriously, if you like your PT, and it's accurate and reliable, hang on to it. If you want something different, make the trade. It's not like you'll be stuck with the Para forever. If you trade into it and hate it, trade it for something else...

    Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
    ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?

    If you want an affordable compact 9mm, there is a CZ RAMI on sale in the forum for under 500 right now, and that pistol is far better than the Hawg or the Taurus.
