For Your Consideration

I recently had the opportunity to compare two pistols, side by side. A Ruger .40 caliber (top pic) and a Taurus 24/7 9mm ( bottom pic and Pistol Of The Year in '05).

I was told by the Rangemaster that I may be surprised by the lack of noticeable difference in recoil between the two.

I first fired 25 rounds form the Taurus, taking particular notice of the recoil. Then I fired the same number of rounds from the Ruger. The difference in recoil wsa nearly un noticeable, just like the man said. Then I fired a bunch more rounds from both just because it's fun!

What I like about the Taurus is the grip. It is comfortabel in my hand and a pleasure to shoot. What I like about the Ruger is the control for a larger caliber pistol compared to a 9mm. Actually, I really like them both. I just happened to own the Taurus.

Please own responsibly.
