Listener Nate:

 Hey guys, how’re y’all doing? Hope everything is going good for all y’all, and that you had a great Easter.

 I’m still out here on the road. I don’t get home very often, usually 8 weeks out, home for a week, rinse and repeat.

 I’ve been listening to HGR for over 10 years. In my trucking career, HGR has helped me stay entertained and informed out here on the high road.

 To follow up on episode #484, Best & Worst Purchsses, I’d like to contribute my experiences so far. Having purchased over 200+ handguns in the last 20 years, I’m sure I’ve got a few.

 Best Purchases (so far)

1. Recently purchased 3 Smith & Wesson M&Ps for a total of $600. Pictured, top left, my Smith & Wesson M&P 4.25” 9mm. Top right is my Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 5” 9mm, in FDE. And last, but not least, a at the bottom, is my Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 4.6” .45 ACP.

1. My H&K VP9, 11 mags, with a Holosun Red Dot, for $700.
2. My Dan Wesson DWX Compact for $1,200.

 Worst Purchases (so far)

1. Anything that has Taurus in it. From a 9mm PT 24/7, a Taurus Tracker .44 mag, multiple G2Cs and G3Cs, they all malfunctioned in various ways. The Tracker went out of timing in less than one box of ammo. One G2C had a cracked slide after less than a 1k rounds. I’m glad that a lot of people like Taurus, and I’m not trying to brand shame here. I’ve just had very bad experiences with Taurus’ products. I hope that other customers have a much better experience.
2. My Springfield Armory Emissary 1911, 5”, 9mm. Chamber is way too tight. Also has failures to feed when the slide gets hung up during recoil. Beautiful gun, but it’s a love/hate thing going there.

 Thank you add always for the great HGR episodes. I look forward to the next episode!
