Finally, I have a Front Sight!
I wrote a post awhile back about my struggles with Taurus, and the difficulty I was having getting my front sight replaced. I finally came in contact with a very nice lady in customer service at Taurus, and after explaining to her the things that I had went through, and the frustration that I was feeling, she was completely shocked. She couldn’t believe that I had went through that much work in order to get this site replaced, and I am happy to report that my front site arrived at the house on Saturday-a full 4 days ahead of schedule. I think the planets finally aligned.
After all the work that I had to go through in order to get this site, you can bet that I wasn’t wasting anytime in putting it on and trying it out. Sunday night we headed over to my cousins house and got the pistols out and plinked around for quite awhile. I was pretty happy with the results considering, and I hate to admit this, but I hadn’t shot the gun in almost a year. I will let the picture speak for itself, but I was pretty happy with the results (at 20yds).
My cousin got in on the act with his Springfield XD .40, and we also let my nephew get involved with his Ruger 10/22. It was a night of shooting all around and it was a complete blast. We shot other things too, but I will elaborate more on that in my post tomorrow. It was a great, great night.
The highlight of the night for me though, was my wife shooting the pistol. You don’t mess with a pregnant woman with a gun I tell ya. She shot pretty well, like she always does, but she didn’t shoot quite as much as the rest of us. That was fine by me. I really couldn’t help but wonder what little Abigail thought about what was going on. I’m sure it was something to the effect of “Man, my mom is cool”, or something like that.
It felt great to shoot the gun again, and all of us had a really good time, and just enjoyed the time spent together, and the time we got to spend outside. It is so relaxing for me when I get outside and shoot. I know that sounds funny, but it really is.
I can’t wait until the next time, and I’m glad my gun is back to %100.

“Don’t mess with a pregnant woman with a gun”. Too funny. That puts a whole different spin on those midnight cravings when she wants you to go out and get her pickles and ice cream, doesn’t it?
That is good news that your back in business. All it takes is getting to the right person and you can get things done. It is too bad that it took this long but, a happy ending none the less.
Glad to hear that they straightened this mess out for you finally. We haven’t had a good shooting night in our parts for a long time, we need to do that. Usually our shoot nights involve shotguns and lots and lots of clay birds. Awesome that your wife got in the act! I know my wife likes to shoot, but I’m not sure how she would react or handle a pistol. Heck, I’m an awful shot with one, so I know she’d be better than me, but I’m not sure how she would respond to shooting one. Maybe when she’s pregnant and wants to destroy something, I’ll let her try then!
I remember the post well where you wrote about the problems you had and I am glad it finally all worked out. Like the saying goes, “The squeaky wheel gets the grease.”
The problem with customer service these days is that employees simple don’t give a rats hairy behind about their job or have any pride in doing a job right. It’s a very common and widespread problem these days.
You got a few deadly hits on that turkey target with your handgun. Are you intending to make the pistol your primary gobbler getter?

That is great that it all worked out for you. Sometimes it is just a matter of talking to the right person at the right time.
Abigail huntress in training?
She isn’t going to shy away from the guns when she gets big enough to handle them.
Glad the gun is on the shooting range again.
Glad to hear you got it all worked out.
Cute picture of wife and baby!
