Bit by the gun bug
« on: January 13, 2016, 10:11:48 AM »
Well you remember I bought my first hand gun in December.
Ruger LC9s and have been to the range 3 times. Started thinking
about getting a full size. Did some research and watched a bunch
of youtube videos. Not ready to spend the bucks on the big name
hand guns yet so I ordered me a Taurus PT809 yesterday. Should
be here by Saturday.

Keep you eyes out for gun stores that get old service weapons, they usually go at a real good price.

Dana Safety Supply right near Allsouth had a batch of Glock 22's from the Spalding County Sheriff's office a few years ago.  They had about 20 when I went in and got to pick the best looking one.  They are well used but also well maintained.  I got it for either $250 or $300, something like that. Great full size .40 cal

Personally Kevin, i freaking love Taurus stuff, lotsa hate out there for just the few minor things that they have had problems with. I have owned several PT 92 variants, an 809, and Beth carries a ultralight .38 as well, loved every one of them and never had any issues. I have been looking at the G2 PT 111s myself, for a backup/hideaway/under desk/whatever gun. The 809 cant be beat for the money with the features and capacity IMHO.. if you dont like it let me know and ill take it off your hands lol

like @tcdawg said, used service stuff is cheap, and usually well maintained. aimsurplus.com always has that used stuff, especially Glocks, u can buy em online and have em shipped to an FFL, my local guy charges $20 ea for the transfer. Also i cant remember if i have the name right, but maybe "the armory" in Athens does alot of police trade in stuff

I had look at several gun shops and they didn't have it.
Big Woods said their supplier was sold out. Cherokee said
they didn't carry the 809. Checked on buying thru Buds and
it was listed $289. I ask Bobby about the shipping to a FFL.
 
I was in town yesterday and thought hell I'll check the shop
there (Fox Hole) and they ordered me one for $295 out the
door. Think he said their supplier had about a dozen.

If you buy a used glock, you take it to the glock manufacturer and let them go through it. Doesn't take very long and is in Atlanta.

Picked up my Taurus 809 (right at 30oz)....hadn't got to shoot it yet
little bit more beefy than Ruger LC9s (17oz I believe)
Takes a hair longer to load that 17 round clip....

How much bigger is it than the LC9?  Are you going to keep or sell the LC9?
